Pilot Season

While sports fans have their fantasy leagues, TV buffs are placing bets on which pilots will actually make it through a season. In a mix of comical book adaptations, spinoffs, and a few original programs, the Network's have chosen who will stay, who will get a chance to premiere more episodes, and who is already kicked to the curb. This year adds in more competition with Hulu, Netflix, and Amazon creating their own scripted programming. Out of ABC's 14 comedies that were pitched, four were chosen to continue. Surprisingly, not on the list of picked up pilots was Chevy Chases' comedy (called Chevy) about grandparents who suddenly have to raise their grandkids alone. In addition, ABC saved 7 of 12 pilots in the drama category, with an equal mix of political and social plot conflicts. 

In the other neck of the woods, CBS only secured 2 out of 9 comedy projects, while 4 are still being reworked in order to see another day. CBS had 9 drama as well, and gave 5 of them a series order. FOX only had 8 comedies to show, giving half of them a chance to premiere their seasons. And with only 7 dramas, FOX decided to order seasons for 5 of them, and have yet to cancel the other two.  Meanwhile, NBC came out hot with 14 comedies, 6 have ordered more episodes and 5 are stilling fighting to stay alive. With 10 dramas, NBC has decided to continue 6 of them, leaving two on the bubble. 

Last but not least, the CW produced 5 drama pilots, and only 2 made the cut. 

If you're looking for your next new favorite show, some to look out for include Dr. Ken (ABC comedy with Ken Jeong), Angel From Hell (CBS comedy with Jane Lynch), Minority Report (FOX drama), and The Player (NBC drama).

Wreck It Ralph

I just saw the best animated I have seen in awhile.  The movie was set in an Arcade and it was a bout a bad guy named Ralph who only wanted to be good.  The cool thing about this Arcade was when ever the Arcade closed all the characters could go visit the the other games by going to game central station.

Wreck It Ralph makes many references to other games as you can see in the picture above.  Wreck it Ralph is at a Bad Anon meeting in Pac Man's game and when he leaves he takes a cherry.  When ralph stumbles into a different game looking for a medal to make him a good guy, he runs into Vanellope.

Vanellope is the adorable child you see above, who is voiced by Sarah Silverman.  Vanellope is a glitch in a game and finds Ralph's medal and uses it to pay to get into a race that she is normally not allowed in because she is a glitch.  So Ralph taking on the hero role tries to help Vanellope race and win and of course if she wins he gets his medal back.

The four main characters are all great and you root for all of them.  They are all voiced by known celebrities and John C. Reilly voices Ralph.  They do a great job of bringing you into the world and making you never want to leave.  Wreck it Ralph is a very fun movie that you will not regret seeing.
