...ABC alone has at least two would-be shows set in post-apocalyptic America ("Resistance" and "Red & Blue") while Gavin Polone and Bruce Wagner are teaming for the comfy-sounding plague drama "Four Horsemen" at CBS (which also is developing "Jericho," about life in a small town after America is destroyed).

I can't tell if they're trying to follow up on the X-Files, recycle the stuff from late-night conspiracy talk radio into the mainstream (which they seem to try to do on a roughly 18 month or so cycle), or a little bit of both.
