Similar to the Ron Moore pilot that NBC is looking at, some ex-Buffy writer’s have their own police/fairy tale pilot.
NBC has picked up another pilot mixing fantasy with a crime drama: The network has greenlit Grimm, described as a “dark but fantastical cop drama about a world in which characters inspired by Grimm’s Fairy Tales exist.”
Makes one wonder what happened to the proposed Fables TV pilot.
that does sound much like “Fables” to me. . . . uughh, but whys it gotta be a cop drama? I am so sick of those!
TV knows how to do cop dramas. It’s one of the things that networks know and are comfortable with. So producers set things up as crime dramas (or detective shows which are the same thing but without police) because it’s easier to explain to the networks.
