[Reality-TV-Fanatics] Fox Pilots

 

Courtesy of my friend Ryan Witalison:

Fox is coming into Pilot season with a lot of questions, the Disney/ Fox deal is nearly final and they'll be losing 2 hours a week with the addition of WWE Smackdown, which is expected to air Friday Nights with a 3rd hour airing on Fox Sports One. They also have already ordered two animated series straight to series, so their Pilot list is far shorter then it has been in the past. Mush like CBS though nothing is sticking out as an early favorite at this point.

Drama

Deputy
Logline: Deputy Bill Hollister is a career lawman who's very comfortable kicking down doors and utterly lost in a staff meeting. But when the L.A. County sheriff drops dead, Bill becomes acting sheriff of Los Angeles County, in charge of 10,000 sworn deputies policing a modern Wild West. Produced with the cooperation of the L.A. Sheriff's Department.

When the steel azalea matriarch of the family tries to pay them to go away, these newly legitimized heirs have very different ideas and insist on not only staying in town, but becoming part of the family empire.
