    It is scheduled for 8 pm Thursdays. Every ABC show gets killed there. Charlie's Angels and Missing both bombed there this season. The competition is too tough.

    It looks awesome! I hope it is awesome! I hope it stays awesome!

    None of the other ABC pilot shows, or any other network pilot shows actually look that good from what i've seen. Anyone got any recommendations of new shows next year.

    I might just watch 666 park avenue just because of Terry O'Quinn (yes i'm a lost fan)

    I think Red Widow looks pretty good... and it's got Radha Mitchell ..


    Plus I'm actually getting quite exited about CBS's Elementary.
    I was totally against it at first but I have a good feeling about it.

    Revolution looks like the yearly trash sci fi that everyone will watch, and hate...and it will get cancelled then everyone will complain.. etc etc

    A shame, ABC have put it in one of the most competitive timeslots of the week.

    It'll go up against The Big Bang Theory/Two and a Half Men on CBS, The X-Factor/American Idol results shows on Fox, 30 Rock and Up All Night on NBC and unless changed tomorrrow, The Vampire Diaries on the CW.

    The CBS and Fox offerings alone are likely to kill it, but no doubt 30 Rock and TVD will chip away at any potential audience as well.

    You have to wonder sometimes why new shows even get greenlit when they're going to get offered up as a glorified sacrificial lamb, put into a timeslot where it can't possibly win. They should have put Body of Proof or Private Practice there instead.

    Last Resort looks a lot like Lost, which I didn't like. That doesn't bode well.

    Some interesting shows, crap shoot to predict which will survive!

    Hope I do better with my choices time round, because last season most of my shows got canned after one season.

    Adds to the fun I guess??!

    I've got a feeling that revolution will be wicked and pairing it wilth The Voice should make it a hit, but then again I really liked The Event and that got canned pretty sharpish so who knows

    Red Widow just looks a bit meh to me. As do the new comedies. I'm sure they'll be good but from the trailers the story lines just look a bit unfunny. Especially 'The Neighbours'.

    I desperately want to like 666 Park Avenue because the strong cast span across so many of my favourite shows, but the premise so far hasn't exactly drawn me in. I will give it the chance it deserves I just hope it can gather a following in the US or it won't matter what I think. ;)

    Out of the shows in the OP

    Last Resort - looks good but not sure how long the premise could last. I presume most if not all the footage is from the pilot?

    Nashville, Red Widow - Not interested

    666 Park Avenue - Not really grabbing me with the trailer, will probably still give it a go though.

    Zero Hour - Got a feeling this one will be cancelled early.

    I agree with you totally.

    Last Resort looks a bit more like a mini series than an actual full 24 episode season kind of show. The trailer looks like a movie showing most of the footage from each part more than just the pilot. I'm going to be interested what the story arc is and how it would progress if they do plan for more than just 1 season.

    One of the most entertaining pilots I've seen in a long time. It's got a totally stupid plot but it looks like it could be an interesting ride - until it is inevitably cancelled.
