I've been getting up-fronts-gleaned gossip and spoilers for the past week and a half.
Two by two, hands of blue. Two by two, hands of blue.

[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.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
oooh. Unless you think LOST doesn't suck. No offense intended. I mean, your suckage may vary.

(Nothing very good this year, unfortunately. Mostly Lost spoilers which went and aired the night I heard about them.)

Some shows have already gotten picked up or canceled, though. I think some cable stations like Nick, TNT, TBS, etc. may have already done their presentations.

Well, huh. My sources are being sloppy with their vocabulary, I guess.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
ooh, Allyson has whet my appetite.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
ooh, Allyson has whet my appetite.
Mine too. Thanks!
Though I think I may have to annotate that a bit for people who aren't us.

Adam Baldwin's pilot, Day Break, just got ordered by ABC. Jeff Bell is supposed to be the showrunner.
ETA for series premise:
Did you ever have a day so bad you couldn't wait to get past it? The kind of day nothing goes your way, and everything turns out wrong. What would happen if you couldn't put this day behind you literally? Today Detective Brett Hopper will be accused of shooting state attorney Emilio Garza. He will offer his rock solid alibi. He will realize he's been framed. And he will run. Then he will! wake up and start the day over again. This time he'll do it differently – and will continue to – until he finds out who's framing him, gets his gang witness to court to testify, and until he saves the lives of his loved ones. Hopper has only one advantage in his favor – he remembers everything he did the "day prior" that didn't work. It's a painful way to learn because he also carries the bruises and battle scars from every mistake-filled day. Hopper must find the delicate balance between doing what's important and what's right to get through this killer day and move on to tomorrow.
It sounds like Groundhog Day meets Tru Calling or something.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
Thanks for the news, Kristen. The folks at the Firefly OB will be glad to hear it.

No problem! Though, technically, I should probably call it Taye Diggs's pilot since he's the Brett Hopper character. AB plays someone named Chad Shelton. (HA! Chad!)
ABC also announced 4 other orders, including JJ's pilot (Six Degrees) and Hank Steinberg's pilot (The Nine), which sounds like it could be interesting.
