First up, Downward Dog:

This is the trailer for Downward Dog, a show headed to ABC later this year. Based on a popular web series (funny I never heard of this shit), this is a dramedy about a talking dog.

The show, which ABC Entertainment Group president Channing Dungey calls "very special", combines the cutting-edge comedy of Beverly Hills Chihuahua with Fargo's Allison Tolman, who both deserves and knows better.

Next up, Imaginary Mary:

I honestly cannot believe this exists.

Starring Jenna Elfman, some totally kick-ass guitars, and a stained, fur-colored throw pillow voiced by Rachel Dratch, Imaginary Mary seems poised to revolutionize the television comedy landscape by providing users with a totally laugh-free experience.

Here is the official description, via the ABC YouTube channel:

Alice (Jenna Elfman) has her life turned upside-down when she ‘stupidly’ falls for the love of her life Ben (Stephen Schneider)— an adorable, quick-witted divorced father with three kids. But when she ignores her fears of commitment and her ability to mother, Imaginary Mary, her childhood invention (voiced by Rachel Dratch), comes back to life to express Alice’s deepest fears and add more chaos to the situation.

Yikes.

And finally, an adaptation of The Exorcist:

Shit looks hilarious for all the wrong reasons.

Man, it makes you thank the heavens for quality cable. It also makes me wonder why I'm not running a network if this is what's, out of all the shows pitched and pilots produced, this is the best out of all those shits.
