Question: Which fall pilots would you deem worthy of my time? — Meg

Ausiello: I finished watching the last of the pilots over the weekend and I have fantastic news: For the first time in recent memory, the good fall shows easily outnumber the bad ones — at least based on the pilots I saw. As Desperate Housewives taught us, the second and third episodes tell us much more about a show's creative bones than a season premiere. With that said, here are the fall offerings that have the most FauxVo potential.

* Betty the Ugly (ABC): My pick for most satisfying pilot. Allow me to be the first to say, "God bless America Ferrera!"


Clips of the show can be found here.



If you have any more questions, just ask. If we don't know, we can all find out together.

Thanks for the pics. It was 3am when I was posting. I was good to post what I did.

[*Stacy*]

Not only am I excited for UB, but you're countdown to OTH sig is going to drive me crazy.

[i never learn]

really? umm i started at day 93... how do you think i feel

[*Stacy*]

OMG!!

[i never learn]

... yea, i hope to become as big a fan as UB!... but i kinda already am

[*Stacy*]

Oh i've been a fan since it was posted in the spring about the pilot being filmed. I was so hoping it would be picked up as a pilot and a tv show and was so excited when it was announced.

[*Stacy*]

Also, thought it would be interesting to share some tidbits I found.

From Reuters:

Meanwhile, Charlotte Ross ("NYPD Blue") has left ABC's drama pilot "Ugly Betty" and is in talks to join ABC's Alicia Silverstone comedy pilot "Pink Collar," which explores the nature of female relationships within the workplace.

Vanessa L. Williams (UPN's "South Beach") will replace Ross in "Betty," which centers on a young woman (America Ferrera) who works at a fashion magazine.

Charlotte's IMDB Page

Interesting. I wonder how Charlotte would have portrayed a mean co-worker?

[i never learn]

mhmmm... she looks kinda mean actually... i soo wonder too... thanks for that...

[*Stacy*]

I remember her when she was on Days, but that was a long time ago. Never watched NYPD Blue. It seems the Pilot she left for didn't get picked up. Wonder if she's upset now with all the buzz UB is getting?

[Lolabelle26]

Thanks for that, I can't wait for the show!

[*Stacy*]

Your welcome and me too. It's almost time.

Thanks so much for all the cast info. I'm so glad that Alan Dale is in it.
