Pix Me I Must Be Dreaming.

Unnamed sources are saying that The CW will be rolling out several new shows at their up fronts this May to replace many of the underperforming ones that have been on the bubble for the network season after season.

"It's a whole new revamp and image for The CW. We are taking a cue from what we've seen online, commercials, and the gaming community and combining it into a show that's a little bit retro with cutting edge technology. It's a good way to help reacquaint new viewers with classic television but with alternative music thrown in. And it's great testing for those shows being considered for big screen remakes." "Ok basically this is cheaper than doing a bunch of pilots to find one that will fit into the mess that is our current line up"


The yet to be name series is about Matt Patton, a blogger who gained a huge following for his hip irreverent take on his favorite shows and movies, known as Pix to his friends both on and offline. A photographer at the local Sears by day, he spends his off hours hanging out taking ironic pictures of his friends at clubs, watching shows and movies, and postponing adulthood. In a freak accident while making PopTart tapas for a friend's white trash dinner party, he's shocked by his toaster oven into an alternate reality were he travels into the shows and movies he's blog to a great soundtrack.


Austin Nichols, who plays Julian Baker on The CW's soon to be cut down One Tree Hill, is set to star in the show, in fact he's the only cast of the entire show. "We think Austin is a perfect fit, he's got a now yet retro feel to him, a little quirky, a little hometown boy, an everyman with a little edge. We think that everyone will love him, the teens, the moms, and the guys. One thing we haven't seen Austin do is comedy and we think this is a great chance for him to explore it here."


"It's like Mike TV doing Quantum Leap with satire. I can go anywhere and be anything week to week. It's a great opportunity for an actor because I get to do all kinds of acting, and don't have to deal with the politics of a big cast. And I get to work with some of the best actors in the history of television It's like an acting class every week for me. " said Nichols.



"It reminds me of one of my favorite characters Chance Gardner in the movie Being There, who's whole understanding is based on what he's learned from television. "


"I'm really excited because they told me we are going to be doing a double episode where Pix goes back to the Andy Griffith show. I want to sit in at Floyd's with Barney and Gomer and shoot the shit. There's some really higher thinking there. I would love to also jump into Perry Mason, Maude, and fingers crossed Jake and the Fat Man. "

Basically The CW is saving boatload of cash using their old catalog of shows and movies from CBS and Warner Bros and just re-editeding re-cutting them and dropping in a hipster character to interact with the old show. They only have to pay one actor's salary, a couple of writers, bare bone crew, shoot it the cheapest and smallest studio space they can find, basically CSI's old crew bathroom and can outsource the rest of production.
