Now there's a crap load of options, which are overwhelming to many. Now you'll be lucky to have someone willing to commit to watching 5 to 6, 22-24 episode network shows.

The President of FX said a few months ago that 400+ scripted shows aired in 2015 including all platforms. Not reality or competition, scripted. That's an overwhelming amount of content. I bet less than 20% were actually hits.

Lol, it's borderline insanity. Then factor in the all powerful 18-49 demo. Well I'd love to know how much of that demo has kids! Watching tv without kids is a 100% different experience than watching tv with kids.
It has been and will continue to be a heavily flawed system until somebody else comes along to give honest competition. Until then May Slashers will be as brutal as ever. Maybe some of these cancellations will be picked up by streaming services.

Take for instance the cancelled after one season Second Chance at Fox it was originally pitched over a year ago as The Frankenstein Code.

I appreciate your writing to me, but what you say here doesn't really answered what I was wanting to know. A change to a show's name is what you seem to be telling about here. I was asking if a show can be pitched to others networks after it gets turned down by one already.

God bless you always!!!

Sure! HBO unwisely passed on The Walking Dead and I'm sure AMC sends them a nice gift basket each season.

NBC passed on it as well. If I remember right they wanted to do it but without zombies. That's what eventually led NBC to picking-up Revolution after they saw how popular TWD become and they were hoping to capitalize on the "Apocalypse" craze.

Omg! I'd hate to think what the show would've been like if NBC had done that!

Sorry that I wasn't more clear but yes that happens all the time but is not necessarily successful.

The CW's Crazy Ex-Girlfriend was originally developed last winter/spring at Showtime complete with a "Pilot". However they opted not to go with it and it ended up being picked up at the CW for their fall schedule.

Not looking good for "Limitless" on CBS. Apparently the show is being shopped around to find another home. Fingers crossed that Netflix picks it up.

Looks another one of my favourites gets cancelled. First it was "Forever" last year on ABC and now "Limitless".

‘Cruel Intentions’ Series Still Alive at NBC

NBC cleaned house and re-stocked their slate this week, but one hot pilot that was missing from the list of greenlights was “Cruel Intentions.”

The series revival of the ’90s flick may still happen, Variety has learned, and “Cruel Intentions” could end up on NBC’s 2016-2017 schedule.

NBC and Sony Television have been in long negotiations over the project, which remains a favorite of both the network and the studio. Sources close to the project say that all execs involved want to see “Cruel” go all the way, but NBC and Sony haven’t yet come to an agreement over stacking rights or ownership.

As of now, NBC has an even split of shows from its in-house arm, Universal Television, vs. outside studios. This week, NBC greenlit four shows from Universal — “Great News,” “Marlon,” “Chicago Justice” and “Midnight, Texas,” which came as a surprise. Earlier this year, the network also gave a straight-to-series order to Universal’s “The Good Place” and “Emerald City.” Six shows are also coming from outside studios with Warner Bros. TV’s “Powerless” and “Trial & Error,” 20th Century Fox TV’s “This Is Us,” Sony TV’s “Timeless,” which has been a shoo-in for quite some time, and EuropaCorp’s “Taken,” which nabbed a straight-to-series order long ago. And then there’s “The Blacklist” spinoff, also from Sony, which just became official this morning.

NBC had been in separate negotiations with Sony over “Cruel Intentions” and “The Blacklist,” though a source says “Blacklist’s” pickup had no impact on “Cruel’s” ultimate fate. The Famke Janssen spinoff was always eyeing a series order, but the process was stalled until today (many of NBC’s pilots were picked up yesterday) because the network was pushing for large ownership over the project.

Late on Friday, insiders close to “Cruel” told Variety that the two parties decided not to make a decision before Upfronts, but plan to re-visit discussions after the week-long NYC presentations and are hopeful to settle on a summer 2017 debut — a time of year that could be perfect for a young, social-savvy show like “Cruel Intentions.”

The “Cruel” pilot tested well with a cliffhanger-heavy script and tremendous buzz for its new star Taylor John Smith, who’s playing the son of Ryan Phillippe’s late character, along with its headliner, Sarah Michelle Gellar.

If NBC ultimately passes on “Cruel Intentions,” it will surely be shopped around in search of a new home.

Can't wait for it, so I really hope it premieres this year instead of summer of 2017.

I'd be shocked if somebody else didn't pick up Limitless if CBS no longer wants it on their own network. While the ratings obviously took a hit as the season went along, it should still have more than enough of an audience for a place like Netflix to jump on it.

Thank you for letting me know.

I bet TNT gets Limitless if CBS cancels it. With Titans shelved, they'll probably want a heavy hitter on the network (and Warner Bros. could step to finance with CBS if the Relativity/MGM television division merger doesn't happen).

And TNT and CBS have worked together in the past with Leverage.

The Netflix thing would surprise me but then again, this is the same Netflix that gave The Ranch a Season Two.

‘Cruel Intentions’: NBC Confirms Discussions For Possible Pickup Of Sequel

During NBC’s upfront press call today, NBC chairman Bob Greenblatt confirmed that the network is keeping its pilot Cruel Intentions alive. The project, a sequel to the cult movie which has original star Sarah Michelle Gellar reprising her role, was not picked up to series, but not passed on either.

“It goes under the heading of embarrassment of riches,” Greenblatt said. “There’s just so many shows that we have scheduled or ordered.”

Greenblatt called the soapy Cruel Intentions “a bit of an outlier for us, because there’s no other show like it in our list of genres.”

That statement was interesting as one of NBC’s goals going into the 2015-16 development season was to add a primetime soap — genre that is not on the network right now — to its lineup. NBC ordered two such pilots, Cruel Intentions and legal soap Miranda’s Rights, which is dead.

Still, “we like it, and we’re still discussing it and trying to figure it out,” Greenblatt said of Cruel Intentions, which comes from Sony TV, the studio that produces NBC’s The Blacklist and the upcoming spinoff as well as hot new time-travel drama Timeless.

As we reported, among the possible scenarios discussed for Cruel Intentions are a summer order at a lower licensee fee or redevelopment. The latter is hard to imagine as it may be difficult to secure Gellar again, and she is a main draw to the sequel.

I really hope they pick it up, I want so badly to see Kathryn Merteuil back in action.
Some people say, much probably, this will premiere in summer.

The Carmichael Show has been renewed for a 13 episode 3rd Season at NBC

I'm surprised there's interest in a Cruel Intentions series. Did no one learn from the flop that was Manchester Prep (with Amy Adams as Kathryn!)?

[fatediesel]

CBS renewed The Odd Couple, Code Black, Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders, and Undercover Boss today. Still no word on Limitless.
