It's not the horniness

DHD posted a list of television pilots that are under consideration for pick-up.

Fox loaded up on fanbait — a J.J. Abrams drama, a Joss Whedon drama, an adaptation of Simon Pegg's cult British series Spaced, a comedy set in a spaceship developed by the creators of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Other highlights:

90210, an update (CW).

Cleveland, a Family Guy spin-off (Fox).

Prince of Motor City, "Hamlet set in Detroit" (ABC).

"Something is rotten in the city of Detroit…"


Idea: Celebrity Double Dates, a reality series.

Sample first season:

Episode 1
Dwyane Wade and Star Jones +
Baron Davis and Teri Hatcher

Episode 2
Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson +
Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson

Episode 3
Milo Ventimiglia and Hayden Panettiere +
Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter

Episode 4
Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens +
Devendra Banhart and Natalie Portman

Episode 5
Marilyn Manson and Evan Rachel Wood +
Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart


Devendra Banhart and Natalie Portman +
Marilyn Manson and Evan Rachel Wood

would also be entertaining.
