Eli Stone
Production Co.: Touchstone TV
Production Team: Greg Berlanti, Marc Gugenheim
Thirtysomething attorney (Jonny Lee Miller) begins to have larger-than-life visions that compel him to do unusual things; Victor Garber co-stars
This one sounds promising. Berlanti and JLM. Victor Garber wasted little time ... and thats good.

This show premise is a joke right? Because I realize that most shows now are the same thing that aired in the past just with a small twist, but this seems like it would be pretty close to Angel regardless of what twist they come up with.

NSA Innocent
Production Co.: 20th Century Fox TV/Realtime Prods.
Production Team: Bob Cochran, David Ehrman, Jon Cassar, Joel Surnow, Howard Gordon
Family man winds up recruited by the NSA as a spy within the defense contracting company he works for
This is the one I'm intrigued about. Especially since it's from the creative team behind 24. However, I can see this being a problem for 24 next season especially if Jon Cassar, Joel, Bob and Howard are going back and forth overseeing the writing and production of this show as well as 24.

I've enjoyed watching the BBC's Life On Mars, so I really hope they don't screw it up here. This upcoming second season is supposed to be the last for the show. My worry is that if its a hit, they'll pull a Lost and stretch it out too far without giving us closure.

It will be interesting to see how they handle Footballers Wives. That was pretty risque and very over the top.
That being said, I'm still curious as to what they're going to do with it.

M.O.N.Y. sounds good. Tom Fontana, Barry Levinson=
I always give most new shows a chance, some of these ideas (esp. ABC's) sound pretty terrible but i will check most of them when they come. Joanna Garcia & Steve Howey are going to be on 2 of those pilots (CBS & Fox. resp.) and Wildlife which Conan O'Brien is a must watch but i said that about andy barker p.i. so who knows?

What I will Check out:
ABC - Cashmere Mafia, Eli Stone, Football Wives, The Rina Momoun Project, Pushing Daisies
CBS - Babylon Fields, Swingtown (more for curiosity sake), Twilight (I watched it when it was called "angel" and "forever knight"), Viva Laughlin! (I've been to Laughlin, and it is a pit of a town that i'll never return, I have to see how TV changes that)
NBC - The Bionic Woman (again, Curiosity), Journeyman (interesting concept), Lipstick Jungle (again, I watched it when it was called 'sex and the city'),
FOX - The Apostles (I grew up in Simi Valley, and thus must watch out of curiosity sake), The Cure (Love Eliza Dusku), Sarah Connor Chronicles (Anything Terminator and I'll be there)
CW - Gossip Girl (I'll admit to reading a couple of the books and I'm curious to see how this translates to the smallscreen), Reaper (again, I watched it when it was called 'Dead like Me'), Untitled South Africa Project (could be interesting)

FOX: Company Man
Since this is from the creators of 24, I will definitely give this a shot. Granted Jason Behr is no Kiefer Sutherland, I think a plot dealing with the NSA sounds a little more fresher than hearing CTU every season.
