From the way things look, and from this recent list of upcoming TV shows, we may never run out of something interesting to watch. And of course, for someone like me, that should be a good thing!
Here below are some more TV shows we can look forward to in the next twelve months. . .
DASH 4CASH
The CW
It is a comedy; a behind the scenes look at a racing Reality TV Series.
Commitment: Ordered to pilot
Cast: Brianna Brown (Noelle), Johann Urb (Rick), Jonathan Chase (Michael), Jud Tylor (Dottie), Kevin Christy (Ronnie), Kyle Bornheimer (Nick), Rick Hall (Calvin)
I guess this show is inspired The Amazing Race?
Speaking of The Amazing Race, Oprah teams up with its creators to mount her own Reality TV show:
OPRAH's THE BIG GIVE
ABC
"10 people are handed money and resources and then challenged to find dramatic and emotional ways to use them to help others."
Commitment: Ordered to series, with 8 episodes
It's Amazing Race meets Pay It Forward.
1321 CLOVER
CBS
"A documentary-style comedy about a typical suburban family"
Commitment: Ordered to pilot
Cast: Amanda Detmer (Sharon), Logan Grove (Tyler), Paul F. Thompkins (Rob)
Hmmm. . . sounds like I've already seen something like this before.
I'M IN HELL
CBS
"A comedy about a high-flying Wall Street guy (Jason Biggs) who dies in a Blackberry-related car crash only to be sent back stripped of his career, his fancy apartment and the fabulous trappings of his former existence."
Commitment: Ordered to pilot
Cast: Jason Biggs (Nick)
American Pie guy does TV now?
THE HILL
ABC
"A comedy about an aide (Eric Christian Olsen) to a Democratic senator who falls for the daughter (Michelle Trachtenberg) of his boss' arch enemy (Moses)."
Commitment: Ordered to pilot
Cast: Eric Christian Olsen (Matt O'Brien), Mark Moses, Michelle Trachtenberg (Maggie Rogers), Smith Cho, Wendie Malick (Bryce Lowell)
Shows that have been ordered to pilot does not guarantee we see many of these survive the season. 4 out of 10 new TV shows fail to make their full season run. And by the second year, half of those who've survived their first year, are dropped from the grid altogether.

In other news...they're slated to come back for one more year!
