Variety has word that CBS has officially announced six new pilots that will be hitting the airwaves as part of their 2008-2009 season. Here's what will soon be on the menu for hungry TiVo's:

"Eleventh Hour", in the rich tradition of shows like "All in the Family", "Sanford and Son" and "The Office", is the first of many British shows being adapted this year for American audiences. The original ran four episodes in 2006 and featured Patrick Stewart as a government scientist involving science-fictiony goings-on. The remake replaces Mr. Stewart with Rufus Sewell and adds writer Mick Davis and producer Jerry Bruckheimer. One of CBS' hour-longs, "Eleventh Hour" will face off against FOX's similarly themed JJ Abrams' property, "Fringe".

"The Ex List" comes from an Israeli series called "Mythological X". Another hour-long drama, "The Ex List" tells the story of a woman (Elizabeth Reaser) who learns from a fortune teller that she has already met and left the love of her life. Unsure of exactly who he is, she returns to her exes to try and track him down. "Veronica Mars" writer Diane Ruggiero wrote the pilot.

"Harper's Island", a third hour-long, is a murder mystery about a wedding party on an island off the coast of Washington state where the guests begin turning up dead one by one. Jon Turteltaub is producing with a script from Ari Schlossberg.

"The Mentalist" rounds off the hour-longs with a crime series starring Simon Baker as a man with incredible powers of deduction. The script comes from "Rome" writer Bruno Heller.

"Project Gary", the first of CBS's two half-hour comedies, stars Jay Mohr as a divorced date trying to lead the single life. The pilot was scripted by Ric Swartzlander and Ed Yeager.

"Worst Week" marks CBS's other sitcom and second British-to-American adaptation (from the British "The Worst Week of My Life"). Kyle Bornheimer and Erin Hayes star as a young couple who have to contend with their crazy in-laws just before a wedding. The original series actually took place during a single week leading up to the wedding (with a follow-up series matching the format for a week before the couple's first child). Wikipedia tells me that there was also a German adaptation with the amazing title of "Hilfe! Hochzeit! Die schlimmste Woche meines Lebens" or  "Help! Wedding! The Worst Week of My Life".
