Yahoo! News - Drama Pilots Taking Off at ABC

Nice to see TV taking the true lessons of success to heart. For example, since the two biggest success stories in terms of drama this year are Lost and Suburban Housewives, it's clear that audiences were starved for innovative, well-written dramas that explored original, unique territory instead of just being obvious attempts to replicate successful formulas (yes, CSI and Law & Order, I'm talking to you).

So, for next year, ABC is hoping to expand on that success by... commissioning a pilot about suburban housewives who solve mysteries. Again. And UPN has something called Triangle in the works, which SciFi's website describes like this:

UPN has given the go-ahead to Triangle, from executive producers John Sakmar and Kerry Lenhart, which begins when the wife of a young doctor mysteriously disappears while they're on their honeymoon. In order to find out what happened, he stays on the island and begins to treat the residents and visitors, the trade paper reported.
