What ’s in computer memory for us on telly this fall ? If the pilot scripts the internet have grade are anything to go by , there ’ll be lots of zombies , phantasy police work , angels , and superheroes . Here ’s our pure run - down of the buffer scripts that each of the major web is expect at for Fall 2011 at the moment .
Obligatory disclaimer : Most of these show will never get hold of your screen . The ones which are just “ in the pipeline ” are apparently just in the script stage , and may or may not get an order to film an actual pilot light . ( On the other hand , a identification number of them probably will get a pilot program order soon , it ’s still early . ) And the ones which are already filming a cowcatcher may not get any farther . If you do n’t consider me , do some look for on video sites for the close archetype for Global Frequency , Aquaman and Justice League , among many others .
Also , television being television , the more horrific a show vocalise , the likelier it is to make it on the air — and to be a huge hit that stays on for the next seven yr .
