'Safe'
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
In other pilot news...or should that be one trick pony news:
Procedural king Dick Wolf is taking a sudsy turn, developing the serialized, Hollywood-set crime drama "Power" for NBC. Project will revolve around young U.S. attorneys and FBI agents -- the same jobs showcased in Wolf's upcoming "Conviction" -- who are empowered to take down some of Hollywood's shady criminal elements.
Hollywood's shady criminal elements.
Anyone we know?
Possibly the dudes I saw getting arrested tonight at Ralph's.
Or maybe the guys breaking into cars here in Burbank?
Hopefully, they're after the executives at Fox Broadcasting.
Yes, still bitter about "Firefly."
And NBC wonders why they're losing in the ratings.
Saw this and thought of Tim:
[Talking Points Memo] Reader MN points out that Dick Cheney now joins Aaron Burr as one of the two vice presidents to shoot someone while in office.

Yesterday, Comcast's headline for that story on their homepage was "Cheney Accidentally Shoots Lawyer" which was a very WTF moment for me when I saw it. It made me click the link to read the story, so I guess it could be considered successful.
I like to think of it as "Magnolia" on wheels with a dash of "North by Northwest"...
I am officially excited about Tim's new pilot.
So the official logline is:
A dramatic series set against an illegal cross-country road race and its players and origins.
