This is not a television series. It is just a non-notable television pilot which is still in development. Unlike the claim in the article, it is not a series, and there is no known premiere date (or year). I can find no sources that state otherwise. This article is very premature, and casting is apparently still in progress. There is a good chance the pilot will never be picked up to series.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete. I did a search and I'm not really bringing up enough sources to really show how this would pass notability guidelines. There's a little bit of buzz about the casting, but not enough to really show how an unfilmed tv pilot is notable, especially one that hasn't officially been picked up for a season yet. I removed some of the more silly parts of the article, such as what the casting calls are looking for (since we're not a casting call directory) and the stations that the show might show on if it gets picked up outside of the USA. There's no reason for that to be in the article at all, so I removed it. In any case, this is a pretty clear case of WP:CRYSTAL. It's very common for a pilot to get made but then never get greenlit for an actual series. There's more unmade series with a pilot than many would really think.

Delete. I agree with Tokyogirl79. TV articles are fine, when a TV show actually airs and lasts more than a few episodes/has notable actors or characters. — WylieCoyote (talk) 18:47, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Tokyogirl79 has clearly expressed why this article cannot be kept and I have nothing further to add. -- Whpq (talk) 17:53, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
