Not Picked Up:
- The American remake of Absolutely Fabulous starring Kristin Johnston was passed on by Fox.
- ABC decided against expanding the Supernanny franchise with Supermanny.
- David E. Kelley's dry streak is continuing now that Legally Mad isn't coming to NBC
- Brett Ratner's Cop House revolving around a halfway house for cops was passed on Fox.
- Without his untitled pilot being picked up by NBC, perhaps Michael Rosenbaum will pop up on Smallville more next season
- Gossip Girl's untitled spin-off following Lily's teenage groupie years is not on the fall schedule. But there are conflicting reports as to whether it could show up midseason. Did anyone actually like that episode a few weeks ago?
- One of the potentially controversial pilots, Back, was passed on by CBS. The show starred Skeet Ulrich and followed a guy who disappeared on 9/11 only to re-appear 8 years later.
- The Eastmans had an all-star cast that included Donald Sutherland, Jacqueline Bissett and Jesse Bradford
- Another big name cast that didn't make it to CBS is Happiness Isn't Everything starring Richard Dreyfuss, Jason Biggs and Mary Steenburgen
