Also based on the Brit show "Honest" by Aloy	Mar 26th, 2008 12:53:25 AM

Pissed off... by DanielKurland	Mar 26th, 2008 01:01:17 AM
Yes, I'm glad to see him getting work, but spreading himself thin over three lesser shows is not going to help him any. He's turning into a Josh Schwartz, which isn't a good thing. Go back to VM.
how original, his best work was the movie Drive Me Crazy by iownyou	Mar 26th, 2008 01:13:56 AM
he should do a remake or a sequel
Punto... by DanielKurland	Mar 26th, 2008 01:23:42 AM
A book HE was writing.
The Rob Thomas following is starting to get Whedon-like. by Mr Spork	Mar 26th, 2008 03:08:53 AM

The Rob Thomas following is starting to get Whedon-like. by Owen Taylor	Mar 26th, 2008 03:13:56 AM
Too bad his talent isn't.
Honest was much later and a flop. by elab49	Mar 26th, 2008 03:19:41 AM
And even though it was effectively a remake was never once in any of the promos linked to the Aussie series even though the writers penned the first epi.
The "spray-and-pray" approach to TV by Mullah Omar	Mar 26th, 2008 06:35:38 AM
I guess the theory is that you make a load of pilots and hope that at least ONE of these shows is going to make it. Except usually I don't recall one guy making so many pilots at the same time. If they all get picked up, I guess he'll have to give away 1-2 of them or else invest in speed.
Dosen't this mean he's spreading himself thin? by Yeti	Mar 26th, 2008 06:42:13 AM
Or is he just getting these shows started then leaving them with other showrunners if successful?
Rob Thomas by Ashok0	Mar 26th, 2008 07:06:53 AM
Has this guy ever done a single good non-girlie series?
Matchbox 21 is teh suck by Add to Friends	Mar 26th, 2008 09:50:20 AM
And the Rob Thomas following is starting to get Abrams-like.
Huh? by fishpillow	Mar 26th, 2008 09:52:14 AM
So let me get this straight? He has multiple failed shows and suck movies so he gets rewarded with 3 pilots?!? Man, I gotta move to Hollywood....
which will win? by imascooby1985	Mar 26th, 2008 10:04:19 AM
I am hoping that the Cupid pilot is the only one to get picked up to that Rob can just focus on making one great show instead of three mediocre ones. But knowing Hollywood, the 90210 spin-off will be the one to succeed and Rob will stay with it for a season then leave to make another show that will probably just be cancelled in a year and then people will start back up about him doing a VM movie. Mark my words. ps... this is coming from a huge VM fan.
Load of Pish by masteryoda007	Mar 26th, 2008 11:14:53 AM
Veronica Mars was so terrible! No suprise it got canned.
Cupid, Veronica, Dawson's Creek, and The Riches by Karuma	Mar 26th, 2008 12:08:56 PM
Two of those were very engaging and well done. The other, Dawson's, overblown and ham fisted so I don't know what to think about the latest news. However, it couldn't be a worse that quarterlife....could it? Sounds like a network version of The Riches.
Karuma, how dare u? by mr ahole ramirez	Mar 26th, 2008 01:06:36 PM
...how dare u say that of Dawson...thats my #1 guilty pleasure, to the point that Ill actually stay up for another hour to watch it come on at 5...I loved that show...I hated Dawson, but I loved that damn show...."I dont wanna wait..."
Veronica Mars wasn't based on a book by Prior Walter	Mar 26th, 2008 04:34:25 PM

Holy shit by Charlie Murphy	Mar 26th, 2008 04:38:26 PM
likes me some Rob Thomas, but this is pushing it. can you imagine if even two of these shows get picked up? he'll be stretched too thin and his input will be pretty minimal on each show. excited, but still... three fuckin shows?
remakes by johnnysunshine	Mar 26th, 2008 05:06:34 PM
so he's got three pilots and they're all remakes?
Mr. ahole ramirez by Karuma	Mar 26th, 2008 05:07:08 PM
I speak only for my own predilections. If you liked the show, applause to you for being able find beauty and grace in something I could not. You are among many who enjoyed it, however I found it just to be another in a long line of attempts by writers to pull in the teen angst audience and generate enough viewers to make the sponsors happy and give the writers another day of employment, in which it was very successful in doing.
Good. Outrageous Fortune sucks. by crayon	Mar 26th, 2008 05:50:56 PM
The show doesn't know if it wants to be a comedy or a drama tackling serious issues and awkwardly tries to mix the two with poor results. So a remake can only be for the best I'd say.
Just Get Back to Veronica!!!!!!!!! by arzbest	Mar 26th, 2008 06:51:22 PM
Holy Mother of God! Stop dinking around with all these other crap shows and get back to your masterpiece! Shop it somewhere - FX, Lifetime, A & E, ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, even frikking Spike might be interested in this show! We needs us some more of the tiny blonde one!
I would let Kristen Bell pee on me by Sick Fixx	Mar 26th, 2008 07:37:59 PM
I've never experienced such a thing, but I'm pretty sure I would let her.
K-Bell: Tiny in frame, yes, but Sears Tower-sized... by Pennsy	Mar 26th, 2008 07:45:20 PM
In terms of acting chops. NBC, do whatever the fcuk it takes to get her on board as a regular for season 3 of Heroes. They need her more than she needs them.
3 shows I most likely won't ever watch by INWOsuxRED	Mar 26th, 2008 09:11:01 PM

Pennsy is talking about Kristen Bell? by INWOsuxRED	Mar 26th, 2008 09:12:08 PM
What is this world coming to?
I'd watch it on one condition... by jccalhoun	Mar 26th, 2008 09:12:10 PM
That they have former cast members of The Tribe on it like the original version does.
Krisitn Bell by optimus122	Mar 26th, 2008 09:12:23 PM
is full of goodness , i love that little babe.
INWOSuxRED by Pennsy	Mar 26th, 2008 10:13:35 PM
At least I'm G-rated, unlike Sick Fixx, mind you ;)
re: Karuma by mr ahole ramirez	Mar 26th, 2008 10:48:05 PM
...Im just jokin man/woman...I mean, I am super serious bout lovin it, but u know what Im sayin...may I ask is there/was there a show like Dawsons that u enjoyed...
You may have been G-rated by INWOsuxRED	Mar 26th, 2008 10:59:09 PM
but everybody here knows you would let her pee on you, so it kind of goes without saying.
