In their latest issue, which can be picked up on newsstands now, TV Guide does something everybody loves to do : a top 10 list. This time they went ahead to list not the top10 best series, but the best pilots.
As with any such list, not everyone has the same taste and not everyone agrees on which pilots were the best ones. Plus, as always, we tend to favor recent ones because, well, they’re more recent. But even then, there are some serious misses on TV Guide selection, so I thought I would list a few names I feel should have been included on such a list, as well as inviting you to list which were, to you, the top 10 best pilots TV had to offer.

So far I don’t think a decision has been (officially) made when it comes to the future of FX’s The Riches, but it may not look too good. Along with Dirt, the two series were uncertain to return next season, and it’s already been confirmed that Dirt was over.
As for The Riches, well, executive producers/showrunners Nicole Yorkin and Dawn Prestwich have joined ABC’s fantasy pilot Captain Cook’s Extraordinary Atlas, and will serve as executive producers/showrunners on the show, should it be picked up by the network. So nothing’s official, but it doesn’t look too good for The Riches I’d say…
This new project is described as Harry Potter meets Pan’s Labyrinth, and will center on a young girl (Jodelle Ferland) who finds a magical atlas that reveals a secret world underneath our own. Working on the pilot are also Tom Wheeler, who wrote the episode, and Emmy winner Thomas Schlamme, who is directing it.
