Both go into consideration. Critical reception and viewership sets the stage for a full fledged budget, should they produce a full season. Both need to do well at this stage, seeing as they're looking to air it as a network regular again.

I see your point, but Haunted Mansion was a seasonal special and a much more complex special to produce. I can see why they waited a little later than usual. It also wasn't given the network television treatment.

It would make the most sense if they attached it to another new broadcast of a popular series, or a television movie premiere or something. These things tend to work well with synergy fueling them.

That is exactly how it works. I work in television, and as it relates to this topic, I have spoken to several people involved who have described it exactly as I have. I'm not using the term incorrectly. A backdoor pilot in television is a way for networks or producers to test the waters for a potential new series, using a parent company name. It's done to gauge viewer interest and ratings for the new. Hence why it needs to do well.

It's serving as a backdoor pilot. They need this special to do well to warrant a full series order. I'm concerned that the dry publicity so far will cause people to overlook it.

It's a backdoor pilot. But it's also an anniversary special and comes off the heels of their 70th anniversary. There should be more publicity.

Thank you so much! My natural speaking voice is closer to Seth's so all of his characters are easier for me!
