Current Talk '24 I / Re:WB ORDERS FILMING OF NEW DS PILOT
« on: May 20, 2004, 12:24:22 AM »
Let the wake begin - at least so far as the WB is concerned. Here are a pair of articles mentioning the failure of DS to get picked up:
Must-wait-and-see TV

Hailing Frequencies, Issue #250

Also:
They may still be oblivious. Just for the fun of it I went over to the Sy Fy Portal site to see what they were saying about the fate of LIS and there's a report dated yesterday indicating that TPTB behind the show feel that the WB is still interested in it. Apparently the showrunner quit over "creative differences" and their belief is that an inability to find a suitable replacement is all that kept them off of the WB's fall schedule - and as soon as they find a "qualified writer/producer," the show will be back on track for mid-season. That would certainly fly in the face of reports that the WB has turned its back on "franchise" shows. And the report is quick to conclude with the caveat that all this info comes from "the crew of the show" and "no official announcement has been made by The WB." So, either the show's crew really is lost in their own fantasy space world, or the reports of the death of franchise series at the WB are a load of bull....

This article dated today, seems to suggest that the people involved with the Lost In Space pilot are very confident and/or are oblvious to what is going on with the WB recently, that its pilot will go to series.
