Pilot season is a busy time for network executives, The Futon Critic had the chance to read a few scripts (not many were available) and gave quick reviews of them in the top ten pilots of the season...
#10
Quantum Leap (MSTV) - Mix J.J. Abrahams with a good cast and a proven concept and MSTV has a new hit on their hands. OH BOY!
Schedule Suggestion - Mondays
#9
Accidentally Married (EBN) - With Zooey Deschenal as the lead the sweet comedy fits with EBN's line-up and could be a big buzz comedy this fall.
Schedule Suggestion - Paired with one of their best comedies
#8
Call Girls (TVN) - A sensitive topic but an amazing cast could make this pilot a hot hit come the fall.
Schedule Suggestion - A 10pm spot with a strong lead-in
#7
Behind the Reality (NTB) - The only show ordered to series for 2011-2012 as of now is a mix of drama and documentary as they go behind the scenes of a show like Jersey Shore.
Schedule Suggestion - Any spot could work depending on how dark the series turns out
#6
Hiccups (MSTV) - An all star cast and an overseas hit make for one hot pilot.
Schedule Suggestion - Paired with "Rules" or "Business"
#5
14th Street Legal (MSTV) - With a unique cast and interesting concept this law pilot could change the network's view on lawyer shows.
Schedule Suggestion - Anywhere could work
#4
Yes, Mr. President (UEN) - Mix a hit British sitcom, an amazing lead (David Hyde Pierce) and UEN's niche for comedy and the network could have another hit on their hands this fall.
Schedule Suggestion - UEN's All Star Sunday
#3
The Firm (EBN) - With Kerry Washington in the lead among four women, this law series could be hot in the fall with legal buffs and women.
Schedule Suggestion - A hot prime spot, likely 9pm
#2

Schedule Suggestion - Tuesdays, develop a family comedy hour
#1
Untitled Secret Service Project (TVN) - The drama doesn't have much of a concept yet but what we do know is this could be the series that sets TVN on fire.
Schedule Suggestion - Depending how dark it is 9pm, if it isn't then lead-off a new strong night at 8pm.
