New Pilot “The Graysons”

Yes it’s true, the CW has ordered a pilot about Robin before he became Batman’s sidekick called The Graysons. I love the CW, but, um, desperate much? Trying to fill a Smallville void at all?

Yes they are actually. And Smallville producers along with Supernatural producers are behind the project.

I’ll stop judging. It might actually be good.

It’s said if picked up The Graysons would either take over Smallville’s timeslot or if Smallville continues for another season it would take over Supernatural’s timeslot.

Yay finally, Supernatural might be able to build an audience out of the death slot!! The full article is after the jump.

New Drama Pilot Called “Light Years”

The CW is expanding its business with Reaper producer, ABC Studios.

The network has handed a put pilot commitment to Light Years, a family dramedy penned by Liz Tigelaar (What About Brian).

Gary Fleder is attached to direct the project, which centers on a smart, sassy 15-year-old girl who, seeking emancipation after growing up in foster homes, tracks down her parents who had given her up for adoption when their one-night stand in high school resulted in pregnancy.

She connects with her birth mom, a morning radio show host with commitment-phobia, and dad, an immature bar owner, and the trio forms a modern-day “It Takes a Village”-type family.
