CBS Pilot Episodes

The Student Association has been asked by leading television network CBS to air two of their new television shows to the UAlbany students. These will be shown at "Danes after Dark." The two pilot shows are...



"Worst Week"

Sam Briggs (Kyle Bornheimer, "Jericho"), an entertainment magazine editor who will do anything to please his girlfriend's parents... but instead becomes a one-man wrecking crew whenever he's around them. Sam and his girlfriend Melanie Clayton (Erinn Hayes) have only one hurdle left to clear as they start their life together: breaking the news to Mel's conservative parents that they have a wedding in the works and a baby on the way. Dick (Kurtwood Smith "That 70's Show"), a stern judge, and his wife, Angela (Nancy Lenehan "My Name is Earl"), are protective of their daughter, and are really trying to let go of the anger they feel towards Sam... after all, disaster follows whenever he visits their house. But despite his best efforts, every time Sam takes one positive step forward in winning over his future in-laws, he inevitably takes two crushing steps back. But with support and love from Melanie who stands up for him despite his knack for making himself look bad, Sam will hopefully charm his way into her family.

"The Ex List"

A romantic comedy about Bella Bloom (Elizabeth Reaser "Grey's Anatomy") a single, 30-something, successful business owner who is surprised to learn from a psychic that she's already dated her future husband AND there's a catch: if she doesn't find him in the next year, she'll remain alone forever. During a bachelorette party for her sister Daphne, Bella learns from the psychic that she must revisit her past relationships and sort through the mistakes to find her soul mate. Skeptical, Bella begins to analyze every past liaison and failed romance with her close circle of friends: Augie, an endearing guy who has listened to Bella's love woes since college; Vivian, Augie's long-term girlfriend; and Cyrus, who's chronically unemployed and full of wry observations. Once Bella witnesses proof of the psychic's other predictions, her cynicism disappears and she begins her search. Along her trip down break-up lane, Bella is determined to remain optimistic and receptive, believing that when destiny reopens doors to the past, every relationship can matter in the future.
