This means ABC has bought the script and idea. Next the project faces more rewrites and discussions on cast. ABC in a few months may give an ok for a pilot to be made or it will fade from memory like the sequel comedy that was to feature Remington Steele and Laura Holt's daughter. If a pilot is made it still faces huge odds against being picked up. <br /><br />Recently, Adweek interviewed top (advertising agency) media buyers and while they understood the reasons behind all these remakes they wondered why the networks keep doing so many when so few have worked.<br /><br />Remember David Shore who seems to have spent his post-House days trying to revive old TV series? I found an early draft of his remake pilot of The Rockford Files. From January 2010 the script was not bad but Shore had not quite got some of the characters voices right (IMO) especially Beth. Yes it included Angel. http://www.zen134237.zen.co.uk/Pilot_Hell/Rockford_Files_1x01_-_Pilot.pdf<br />michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17812924049258701715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16749171.post-6245047242017426692016-09-24T10:47:24.630-07:002016-09-24T10:47:24.630-07:00What's wrong with having an original idea?
