After having the gals covered next summer with soap Mistresses, ABC also is setting up a show for the guys. The network has given a 13-episode straight-to-series order to mystery supernatural/UFO drama Weird Desk for summer 2013. The show hails from Christina Jennings’ Canadian production company Shaftesbury, which has a U.S. division.

Written by Carl Binder (Stargate) and David Titcher (The Librarian), Weird Desk is in the vein of The X Files. Based on the alleged real-life mysteries from this world and beyond, it centers on the workings of a clandestine organization rumored to be named “Weird Desk.” Working above the levels of top secret and above the office of the President, the unit is the destination for mysterious intelligence rerouted from the CIA and NSA. Tasked with investigating and solving occurrences of the paranormal, supernatural and sometimes extra-terrestrial, “Weird Desk” is led by Morgan, an obstinate, socially inept and brilliant man who would now be dead if it weren’t for his special forces trained partner, Rosetta. Produced by Shaftesbury and distributed by ABC Studios, Weird Desk is executive produced by Shaftesbury US co-heads Tom Mazza and Maggie Murphy.

I thought the 4400 was very lazy and bland in places with dull characters you couldnt give a sh1t about, I expect more of the same here.

Id love to see Mad Men production values brought to an idea like the one in richards link sometime but I doubt this will be it, hope Im wrong.

http://instinctmagazine.com/blogs/blog/bravo-s-bringing-back-death-becomes-her-as-a-new-tv-series?directory=100011

1992s death becomes her is being adapted for TV by Bravo, i remember the film being fairly funny, with the two of them trying to off each other, and willis having to reapply whatever got blown off by the constant death attempts

Showtimes first look at 2 of their new shows starting next year, Michael Sheens Masters of Sex and Liev Schreiber's Ray Donovan,

doubt ill pick up Masters of Sex, but Ray Donovan looks like it could be good, anything with Schreiber in it is worth a watch, not a big voight fan though,

HBO have green lit a pilot from "Beavis and Buttheads" Mike Judge, called Silicon Valley, based in the region named,

it would be interesting if they done this like back when it really started to take off, following multiple people from multiple companies and showing how well or ill equipped they were for the success that they achieved, it say it will show something like that, but it doesn't say if its gonna be based now or 20-30 years ago,

anyway, sounds like a good idea:),

Well, at least it's not MTV doing it, so it could be OK.

Stars developing "Human Error" from Chronicle producer: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/starz-eyes-futuristic-detective-drama-399301

The premium cable network is developing the drama Human Error, set in the near future where artificial humans known as “synthetics" are being phased into the civilian sector.

The CW is developing a new Robin Hood-themed series called Sherwood.

The hour-long drama will focus in on a female vigilante who teams up with the fictitious outlaw and his Merry Men.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Tze Chun of Cashmere Mafia will write the script of the story that is set in 1072 in England.

The series will follow the adventures of a noblewoman who attempts to free her wrongly-jailed boyfriend from Norman occupiers with the help of Robin of Locksley and his gang.

Sherwood will be executive produced by Dan Jinks (Emily Owens, MD).

If the show - which has reportedly been given a script commitment - makes it to air, it will join CW's freshman success Arrow and forthcoming Sex and the City prequel The Carrie Diaries.

The CW is also developing Amazon, a series centered on Wonder Woman, and a modern-day take on Alice in Wonderland

When read about Robin hood with a female lead, I just thought wasn't it done already?

TNT has given a series order to an untitled private eye drama — starring Jon Tenney (The Closer) and Rebecca Romijn (X-Men) – from NCIS: Los Angeles executive producer Shane Brennan.
Based on author David Baldacci’s characters, the show features Tenney and Romijn as Sean King and Michelle Maxwell, a pair of former Secret Service agents-turned-private investigators. Their unique skill set and chemistry gives them an advantage over suspects and conventional law enforcement.
The cast also includes Michael O’Keefe (Michael Clayton) and Chris Butler (The Good Wife) as two FBI agents who sometimes cross paths with the duo, and Ryan Hurst (Sons of Anarchy) as a savant who helps King and Maxwell solve cases.
The series, which has been picked up for 10 episodes, is slated to debut this summer.
Brennan wrote the pilot; he and Grant Anderson (Third Watch) will serve as exec producers, with Baladacci acting as a consultant.
