The Last Resort was apparently given a 13 episode order. https://twitter.com/#!/Variety_Cynthia/status/201100409786466304
It was. New dramas should be done. Now, the other part... Team Awesometown, come on.

Only Fools and Horses didn't make it? I need to try to scrape up a copy of the pilot, as a Brit I am morbidly curious.

I'm sorry Awesometown didn't get picked up, Ivy. ;_;

This Nashville show....it's based on the Robert Altman movie, isn't it?

I don't think so.
Hah I doubt it. I don't even know how that would work.

Excellent news. A lot of my friends worked on that one.
I wanted Mandy and Awesometown.
Me too. I mean, it doesn't really matter cause I'm working on Sons (and it's not like I didn't see it coming), but I'm a little shocked it didn't screen that well. I went in with few expectations and thought it was pretty fucking funny. Ah well.
Do you know Shane Keller? He was our post guy on A-Town. I wonder how he's taking this...
According to Deadline:
- Elementary, Ralph Lamb, Baby Big Shot, Golden Boy are still in contention. Trooper doesn't look good. Widow Detective and every other CBS drama dead.
- Partners, Friend Me, Nick Stoller look good, maybe Martin Lawrence. Every other CBS pilot might be dead (though she can't confirm with Super Fun Night).
EDIT: Unconfirmed, but it looks like CBS pickups are Vegas Rising (fmr. Ralph Lamb), Elementary, Baby Big Shot, Golden Boy, and comedies Partners and Friend Me.

I don't know Mr. Keller. Is he a good guy?
I'm really surprised CBS passed on Entry Level. I interviewed there to be the associate producer, but didn't get it. I thought the script had a lot of potential.
We had the same accountants as Entry Level. Everyone's really shocked. Our UPM is joking around that he's now a certified pilot killer - 0 for 5. And yeah, Shane's a good guy.
CBS picks up Partners, Friend Me, and dramas Vegas (fmr. Ralph Lamb), Made In Jersey (fmr. Baby Big Shot), Elementary, and Golden Boy. I'm *very* excited for Vegas and Golden Boy.

Since all the pilots have been picked up or dropped, and ivy has graciously made a thread for this year's upfronts, I'm going to lock up this thread. Any posts from the last page or two about the upfronts will be migrated over to the upfront thread automagically.
