Pilots given series orders:

• MISTRESSES – Yunjin Kim, Jes Macallan, Alyssa Milano, and Rochelle Aytes star in this show based on the British series of a similar format which follows the turbulent love lives of four different women.
• THE NEIGHBORS – Single-camera project, from Dan Fogelman, centers on Marty Weaver (Lenny Venito) who, in order to give his kids a better life than he had, moves his family — wife Debbie (Jami Gertz) and three children — to an exclusive, lush, curiously affordable gated community in New Jersey, which has only one drawback: everyone else living there is an alien from Planet Zabvron.
• THE FAMILY TOOLS – A half-hour comedy based on a British series revolving on a man forced to put his dreams on hold in order to take over his family handyman business.  Perennial one-season-wonder Kyle Bornheimer stars.
• RED WIDOW (fka PENOZA) – Radha Mithcell stars in this drama based on a Dutch series about the widow of an assassinated criminal, forced to take her husband’s role in a crime syndicate in order to protect her remaining family.  Lee Tergesen, one of my favorites, also stars
  
• NASHVILLE – there is nothing to dislike about this one – Connie Britton, Powers Booth, and Eric Close star in a family soap set in the Nashville music scene.  Connie is a star at her peak; Hayden Penettiere stars as a starlet on the rise.
• ZERO HOUR – Anthony Edwards stars as a man who’s spent 20 years as the editor of a skeptics magazine who is then launched into one of the most compelling conspiracies in human history. Scott Michael Foster (CAPPIE!!) and Michael Nyqvist star.

• HOW TO LIVE WITH YOUR PARENTS FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE – Sarah Chalke stars as a single mom forced to move back in with her parents – Elizabeth Perkins and Brad Garrett – who have a love of life but not boundaries.
• LAST RESORT – Shawn Ryan is one of my favorites, and he created this one about the crew of a US nuclear submarine who are told to launch a missile and ignore it.  They are hunted, and find themselves at a NATO outpost, declaring themselves the world’s smallest nuclear nation.  The cast is insane – Andre Braugher, Scott Speedman, Autumn Reeser, Jessy Schram, Dichen Lachman, the list goes on.  This is one to watch!
  
• MALIBU COUNTRY – REBA is back!!!  Reba stars as a woman who moves her mother (Lily Tomlin) and three kids from Nashville to Malibu after her “good ‘ol boy” rock star hubby cheats on her, and burns through their money.  She then tries to reignite her own singing career.  Interestingly enough, Sara Rue stars in this one FIRST POSITION to other pick up GUYS WITH KIDS (on NBC), so she’s out of that show, for this one!

THE CW has announced their schedule for 2012-2013.

Officially renewed: 90210, GOSSIP GIRL, HART OF DIXIE, NIKITA, SUPERNATURAL, THE VAMPIRE DIARIES

Officially canceled/ending: ONE TREE HILL, RINGER, THE SECRET CIRCLE

Nothing official one way or the other but probably canceled: THE LA COMPLEX

Pilots given series orders:

• CARRIE DIARIES – the prequel to the SEX AND THE CITY books by Candace Bushnell, Anna Sophia Robb stars as 16 year old Carrie Bradshaw.
• ARROW – Stephen Amell stars as Oliver Queen, a billionaire playboy who now fights crime as the vigilante super hero Green Arrow.  With NIKITA being renewed, there’s a perfect combination, right??
• BEAUTY AND THE BEAST – Kristen Kreuk (ugh) stars as Linda Hamilton to Jay Ryan (TERRA NOVA)’s Ron Perlman in this adaptation loosely based on the 80s version of the same name.  This one has a procedural twist to it that features Kristen’s character as a cop, and Jay’s character as a casualty of a botched military experiement.
• CULT – this show took a long way to get made – it’s a pilot for years ago that had been passed on.  Jessica Lucas and Matt Davis co star. Davis is Jeff and Lucas is Skye.  Jeff’s brother Nate went missing after constantly telling Jeff about his crazy conspiracies.  With Nate gone, Jeff stars to believe him and finds out the weird things going on around the show CULT.  Syke is a research assistant for the show, and she, too, is starting to suspect the weird things that are happening.  They team up to figure out what exactly is going on. Additionally, Robert Knepper and Alona Tal star as the stars of the show within a show.
• FIRST CUT – Mamie Gummer (LOVE HER) stars as a girl with a geeky past who has graduated med school and stars a job at Denver Memorial Hospital.  Little does she know – the real world is just like high school.  She’s there to work with her inspiration Dr Gina Beckett (Necar Zadegan – more importantly DINA ARAZ from 24), her med school crush Will is an intern, too (Justin Hartley), and her high school nemesis is there to make her life a living hell.  I’m thinking HART OF DIXIE, FIRST CUT for an all medical night – who’s with me?  Michael Rady and Kelly McCreary also star.
