TV NEWS (IS IT TOO EARLY TO TALK ABOUT FALL?)

ABC adds four drama pilots with fall hope

Basking in the success of its red-hot new drama series "Lost" and "Desperate Housewives," ABC is prepping its fall drama hopefuls. The network picked up four one-hour pilots Thursday from producers J.J. Abrams, Rod Lurie, Steve Pearlman and John Wells' John Wells Prods.

"What About Brian," from Touchstone and Abrams' studio-based Bad Robot, centers on a thirtysomething single guy surrounded by his married friends. Feature writer Dana Stevens ("City of Angels") penned the script. She is executive producing with "Lost" and "Alias" exec producer Abrams. EDITOR'S NOTE: WELL THIS PILOT DOESN'T SOUND NEARLY AS DWEEBISHLY FAB AS "LOST" OR EVEN "ALIAS". BUT IT'S ABRAMS, SO HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL.

And let us not forget The Single Guy staring good ole what's his face. Jonathan Silverman? Is that right?

But if its Abrahms, its good. Don't forget he did Felicity before Alias and Lost. They guy is just a freak. And I wonder if we will see childhood friend Greg Grunberg he was/is a regular on Felicity and Alias and was the pilot in the pilot of Lost.
