Fox's Chairman of Entertainment Kevin Reilly announces that TV's pilot season is dead -- at least for his network. He talks with Kim Masters about how he'll still have failure but he hopes to have more success. Plus, the new documentary Life After Pi looks at the harsh realities for California's visual effects workers.
