CBS did not pick up Babylon Fields

:(
So lets hope for the best.
shareCBS may regret not picking it up. I look for that crappy reality show about the kids in a ghost town and the new vampire drama to not be around by November. I was really looking forward to watching Babylon Fields.
shareI think that it will be picked up as a mid-season replacement, it might even pop in a little earlier if the vampire movie doesn't work out.
I'm definitely disappointed that CBS didn't go with this show up front.
As much as I'd love to see it waiting in the wings for midseason, CBS also announced the midseason pilots they picked up and sadly, Babylon Fields was not mentioned. I would figure that if CBS had picked it up for midseason it would have been mentioned with Swingtown, which did get a midseason order.
shareCan't say I'm surprised. It IS CBS after all. They probably felt a show about zombies and another one about vampires would tarnish their name as the network for senior citizens.

It might be right. They might show it during the months of June/July. They spent the money on it so they might as well. It's not going to hurt them any.
Everyone is more memrable when they're dead. Welcome to L.A.

Apparently it's a midseason show.

aw damn, they were filming at my house too but too bad its not going to get picked up. but to tell you the truth, the zombies looked nothing like zombies.
shareI spent two days filming on the set playing one of the resurrected dead with start times of 3am for makeup, hair and wardrobe.
We were constantly reminded that we were not Zombies but to act like people who woke up from a long sleep, disoriented and looking to go home.
So this is not a true Zombie story, no gore, blood or death scenes.
Just confused people wanting to start their old lives over again.
I for one had hoped for the show to be picked up also, it would have been work for me.
CBS is full of it. They enjoy canceling post-apocalyptic/sci-fi type of shows so they can air crappy reality TV shows. I haven't watched CBS since they mutilated Jericho Season 2, after they canceled it and brought it back. Season 2 was like going to a fast food restaurant.
