Ten Great Ad Agencies Of 2012

Pilot Pick-Up Review (ABC) – 2011-2012 Season.

As well as reviewing them. I’ll also venture a guess as to whether I think they’ll go to series or not (all of which is announced as usual at the Upfronts). So here goes. Let’s start with ABC, land of the soap and female viewership. This season, they’re definitely trying to go a little more male-skewing while cashing in on the family comedy genre.
