While the industry is buzzing about Abrams’ Undercovers, Jerry Bruckheimer’s Chase, David E. Kelley’s Kindreds and Paul Reiser’s Next – I’ve decided to pour through the fall 2010 pilot orders and let you know what else is out there waiting in the wings.

From ABC the show with the mostest seems to be Mr. Sunshine. It’s a single camera dramadey starring Mathew Perry and Allison Janney. Really, bringing those two together on a single show means awesomeness, so, well there you go. Perry will be playing a self-involved manager of a second-rate sports team with Janney as his boss.

While I am always excited to see the fuss fans make over Alex O’Loughlin and Hawaii Five-O should be a fun remake, the drama I am most interested in from CBS is The Quinn-Tuplets.

I’ve always been a sucker for entertainment dramas, A Star is Born through to Entourage. The Quinn-Tuplets is a show about the personal and professional lives of the Quinn quintuplets, five adults whose lives were documented and broadcast since birth. It just seems fun. You’ve got all the rag magazines and celebrity gossip — only now we’ll get to see how the people featured in the media react to it.

Also from CBS, the undeniable king of the sitcom, there were many interesting comedy projects to choose from. Sh** my Dad Says, a multi-camera show based on the popular twitter account and starring William Shatner, seems to me like a no brainer. However, I’m trying to look at the pilots picking daisies out in left field. So here it goes.  I’m intrigued by the Untitled Ant Hines project.

The project is pitched as a single camera sitcom centering on a British lowlife who moves to Los Angeles to reconnect with his celebrity daughter. Again, it might just be my love of the personal side to the entertainment industry. I mean I sat through Grosse Pointe. Hopefully Mitch Hurwitz, of Arrested Development fame, will be less self-indulgent than Darren Star and his show more hilarious.

It was hard to pick one show to talk about from the CW, a network I feel is waiting on the wings in general. They have Betwixt, another book adaptation following in supernatural tradition of The Vampire Diaries. I am  also intrigued by an untitled show that sounds like Greys Anatomy, which is completely against the tradition of the tweenie melodramas the CW has been cultivating. So I’ll have to check that out.

However, The CW is also coming out with a new show from the Gilmore Girl’s Amy Sherman-Palladino. Even though her last project The Return of Jezebel James didn’t pan out I still have faith in Palladino and am excited to see how this new project turns out.

Since NBC managed to nab a lot of highly buzzed projects the show Rex is not your Lawyer may seem like it’s ended up in this article by default, but do not be fooled! The show’s premise is intriguing: a brilliant attorney begins coaching people who represent themselves. It also seems educational, like in the process I’ll learn about being a lawyer by magical expositional osmosis. On top of all of this, it stars David Tennant. So yea, I’ll be tuning in.

For NBC comedies I am most intrigued by an outlined presentation about a group of friends who end up making their favorite sci-fi show after it ends. It may feel like an idea for a stand alone episode of CBS’ The Big Bang Theory but it could lead to them getting their own fame on Youtube or something and then… well, there I go again about loving shows about entertainment.

Fox is bringing a wide variety of things to the table next year, but only one of them is from a writer of Arrested Development starring a cast member from the show. Mitchell Hurwitz and Will Arnett are to be reunited in a single camera comedy about a rich Beverly Hills jackass who falls in love with a charitable tree-hugging woman. Fox should at least feel bad enough about Development to give the show a chance. I know I will be.

So there you have it. They don’t have all the glitz, glam or press of the pilots you’ve been hearing about but I think they’re kinda swell. What do you think? What are you looking forward to most for this fall?
