    Oxygen, The Originals, The Tomorrow People, Delirium, The Selection, The Hunt and there's probably more but I can't remember. 2013 sounds like a good year for US TV :D.

    Basically anything dystopian or supernatural.

    Thanks for this thread, The Selection and Under the Dome both sound great and I'll be trying them out. :)

    I'm also planning on giving Defiance a go: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defiance_%28TV_series%29

    From what I've read Defiance sounds great... remind me of the last show Sy-Fy did which was worth watching though? :(:o

    Have no idea, but Reign will be filming in April so keep your eyes peeled! I'm assuming that this show will need to be filmed around castles or the like so....

    S.H.I.E.L.D. as it will be great having Joss Whedon back on tv! Not sure how involved he will be beyond the pilot but still good to have some more Joss.

    I like a good primetime soap so I'm hoping that Gothica, Westside (formerly known as Venice) and The Secret Lives of Husbands and Wives make it past the pilot stage. I also like the sound of ABC's Reckless about a man trying to rescue his wife who is imprisoned overseas during an uprising.

    I know! The one on CBS sounds pretty sh*t though. This type of thing happens quite often. There were two Beauty and the Beasts in development last year with only the CW one making it to air. There's two Sleepy Hollows in development this year too - one that has made it to pilot stage on FOX and the other still in development on the CW.

    Well, the projects "in development" at the networks that didn't get picked up for a pilot are effectively dead, so the two Sleep Hollow projects are now just one.:) Sure, sometimes dead projects get revived, but it is rare for that to happen.
