I came across this article that lists the potential new shows that could get picked up for next fall or possibly spring or summer runs.
I think networks should really look into summertime series for shows that could be good but might not be able to bring ratings worthy of being a fall series. Take CBS and Under the Dome last summer for example and I have to say some these especially the dramas sound surprisingly good and hope they are given a shot.
