Woohoo! Here are a few tidbits:
- Of the two most high-profile super-girl-power pilots, ABC’s Charlie’s Angels has ridiculously strong odds; we’re told its screenings have gone very well. NBC’s Wonder Woman is considered less certain despite heavy online interest in the costume.
- NBC’s version of the UK hit Prime Suspect starring Maria Bello looks like a sure thing, as does Smash, the Peacock’s Glee-style musical series produced by Steven Spielberg. (In fact, we hear Will & Grace’s Debra Messing rocks the crap out of this pilot.)
- We’re hearing CBS loves Sarah Michelle Gellar but only likes her pilot, Ringer.
- At ABC, the Edgar Allan Poe-as-crime-fighter-drama called Poe is getting a lukewarm reception; Chris Egan apparently looks inappropriately hot in the lead role
- Things also aren’t looking too great for Marc Cherry’s semi-musical Hallelujah, but soap Good Christian Bitches has more than a prayer of landing a slot (and not a chance in hell of keeping its title).
