Now, that's what I'm talking about!

After the boring and unimaginative slew of new shows networks tormented us with this season, next season looks much better. Among other things...

NBC has given the green light to Grimm, a dark cop drama (...)

Grimm — (...) — is described as a "dark, but fantastical cop drama about a world in which characters inspired by Grimm's Fairy Tales exist." Link

ABC greenlit four pilots Tuesday, including one following Pan Am pilots in the '60s and another re-imagining writer Edgar Allen Poe as a detective.

(...)

The crime procedural Poe follows Edgar Allan Poe as the world's first detective. He employs unorthodox methods to investigate dark mysteries in 1840s Boston. The project will tell how some of Poe's famous stories came to be, but only some episodes will be about a specific Poe story. Link

Yes! Now just to hope they'll actually pick those up!

Okay, $10 says that within a week of the pilot of Poe, someone has crossed it with Sherlock Holmes. :)

Also, it'll be interesting if they make him the drunk, stoned, incestuous guy he really was.

It's possible I may know too much about the actual Poe (*love* Poe!) to enjoy this, but I'll give it a try.

:)) I think they'll dial down the stoned and incestuous part ;) But I'm curious if it'll be more like the latest Sherlock Holmes movie or rather like Murdoch Mysteries...
