If you know anything about the TV business, you know the chances of getting a show on the air are really, really poor. Each season, thousands of pilots are written (or “conceived,” in the case of unscripted reality programs). Out of those thousands, a hundred may be ordered. Of those scripts, dozens are actually shot (sometimes costing around $2 million each pilot). Of those dozens, only a handful are picked up and ordered to air.

Can you pick out the actual, failed pilots that never made it on the air from those we’ve totally made up? Some of these descriptions are taken directly from the networks’ press releases. How well can you navigate through the phonies?

Community Service
Sitcom focuses on Will Shepard, a prominent New York City real estate agent, who loses it all – his job, his money, and his pride. He travels to a small Ohio town to find Carly Phillips, the only woman he has ever loved. Unfortunately, she’s engaged to be married. To make matters worse, Will gets into an altercation with a local police officer who just happens to be Carly’s fiancée and he is sentenced to 500 hours of community service. Now Will is stuck in this town, out of his element, going out of his mind.
