Some pilot updates: CBS’s Surveillance is still in in contention and FOX’s Patty’s Auto may be repiloted. ABC’s NYPD Blue, Heart of Life, and Nana may be reworked, and Triangle wasn’t finished so may still be in contention later. At the CW, Glamorous might be retooled. Pretty much everything else we haven’t heard otherwise about is dead at this point.
