Okay, so now I can mention, my pilot got picked up today. Go team. "

" Okay, the show is called "Drive." The network is, um, Fox. And it’s a big, sprawling, ensemble that is utterly serialized. In the pilot, for instance, there are... let me count... about 16 possibly regular characters. "

" Which means I got me some killin’ to do. "



Yay! Tim! go Tim! Timmmmmmmmmie!

TIM: I like to think of it as "Magnolia" on wheels with a dash of "North by Northwest" every week.
None of this means you'll see a series, but that's the goal. The network greenlit us to shoot the pilot. So that's what we're gonna do.

Cool. Looking forward to the inevitable post-cancellation DVD set.

Is this the show that Tim was working on with Chris Buchanan and Zoic?

This sounds cool. I'll check it out if it makes it to air.

The thread title is a bit misleading, though. "Picked-up" means the network has committed to episodes beyond the pilot. At this point, according to that post of Tim's, they just have a pilot order. And many, many pilots never see the light of day.

Yup, fortunately Minear knows the enemy and will design the story arcs with cancellation in mind.

Does anyone know why he keeps working with Fox??
