Fall 2005 Pilot Reviews

Sunday, October 02, 2005

We have come to a close in all of our pilot reviews. We reviewed whatever we got from the networks, which included every new sitcom (except Kitchen Confidential and Love, Inc., these two will be canceled soon probably anyway) and we hope you enjoyed what we thought of them and hopefully you agreed with us. The pilots for sitcoms Freddie and Hot Properties have not debuted yet, so please check those reviews out, if you haven't already. We will also be reviewing episode two of those two series, since we obtained them with the pilots.
For Freddie, ABC is opting to air the second episode first (Oct. 12) and the pilot episode second (Oct. 19). We really did not like the pilot for that series so maybe many people thought the second episode was stronger. So, check back with us for a little episode two review within the pilot reviews of those two shows.

And here is all our pilot reviews, which include some bonus drama pilots:

Stay tuned to SitcomsOnline this mid-season for reviews of all the new mid-season sitcom pilots, such as the hilarious Crumbs, the pilot for Thick & Thin, and the smart Emily's Reasons Why Not starring Heather Graham.
