Two days after Fox entertainment chairman Kevin Reilly announced his net was giving up pilot season, CBS entertainment president Nina Tassler acknowledged at the TCA press tour that while “pilot season isn’t perfect,” it works for her network. “It’s frustrating,” acknowledged Tessler, “but also it’s exciting.” The CW is staying the game, too. Remarked CW president Mark Pedowitz at the TCA, “Pilot season works well for us.”
Pedowitz also announced that a digital spinoff of Veronica Mars will air on the CW Seed site, with series creator Rob Thomas onboard. For a show that got canceled in 2007, Veronca’s getting a lot of action: a Kickstarter-funded Veronica film will be released in March, and the drama just started streaming on Amazon Prime.
Parents will have the ability to program a channel for their children with My Nickelodeon Junior, on deck from Viacom. Mom and Dad will be able to customize the interactive channel, specifying their content preferences, reports the Wall Street Journal. The interactive channel will debut on Verizon‘s Fios service.
CBS renewed every show in its daytime schedule. Coming back are Let’s Make a Deal, The Price Is Right, The Young and the Restless (the number one daytime drama for 25 years received a pick-up through the 2017 season), The Bold and the Beautiful and The Talk, which recently delivered its best-ever fourth quarter in viewers and W25-54.

Telemundo Media announced Wednesday that it will hold its annual Upfront presentation on Tuesday, May 13 in NYC’s Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Frederick P. Rose Hall, Time Warner Center.
OWN‘s The Diamond Collar follows a former Mafia street enforcer whose career veered in a dramatically different direction: dog grooming (tip: “Always ask if your dog groomer uses cage drying, which can be very dangerous”). Docu-series debuts Friday, January 17 at 10p.
The premiere date for Bravo‘s sudsy drama, Southern Charm, is Monday, March 3 at 10p – but fans eager to check out the series about the exclusive world of six Charleston, S.C. singles can catch a 30-minute preview special on Monday, February 3 at 11:30p.

Also on tap at CW: Two reality series, Barber Battle and Penn & Teller: Fool Us. Hosted by Cedric the Entertainer, Barber has stylists competing for hairstyle honors; in Penn & Teller, magicians try to trick the master musicians for a chance to perform with them in Vegas.
Revolt documentary Wale: I Am follows rapper Wale on a journey to Africa to discover his roots, as he meets his family for the first time. Story premieres on the Millennial music net Monday, January 20 at 10p, followed by a live Ustream with the singer at 11p.

HBO‘s holding on to Bill Maher. Days before the season 12 premiere of Real Time with Bill Maher, the premium cabler announced the show has been renewed for season 13. “His irreverent wit and fearless insights make him the perfect observer for these unpredictable times,” said HBO programming president Michael Lombardo of comedian/political commentator Maher, who returns with his show Friday, January 17 at 10p.
Paul Rudd (This is 40) will appear in Adam Scott‘s (Parks and Recreation) fourth The Greatest Event in Television History special for Adult Swim, reports EW, reenacting a classic show’s title sequence. Show airs Thursday at midnight.

How did CBS feel about Monday night’s number for new drama Intelligence, which slid from a solid 2.4 A18-49 in a prime post-NCIS preview slot, to 1.1 in the demo in its regular Monday-at-10p berth? “That sucked,” said creator/exec producer Michael Seitzman at the TCA, pointing out the show would get another shot a sampling on Saturday.
ABC‘s The Goldbergs earned a 1.8/5 rating in A18-49 and 4.9 million viewers at 9p Tuesday night, its most-watched ep since October 8. At 10p, Killer Women dropped to a .7/2 rating among A18-49, down from its low-rated .9 premiere last week.
