After lengthy negotiations, Fox has given a six-episode order to single-camera comedy Weird Loners, from writer Michael Weithorn, who wrote the project on spec and sold it to Fox. It was then laid off at 20th TV, with studio-based director-producer Jake Kasdan coming on board to executive produce alongside Weithorn. Weird Loners is the story of four relationship-phobic people who are unexpectedly thrust into one another’s lives and form an unlikely bond in a townhouse in Queens, NY. Additionally, Fox has given pilot orders to comedies Dead Boss and Sober Companion, both geared toward series.

It is a comedic mystery that finds overachiever Helen Stephens...

It won’t be a development season if ABC, run by British-born Paul Lee, doesn’t adapt several UK formats. The network has put in development No Angels, a half-hour single-camera comedy based on the praised 2004 hourlong dramedy, which aired on Channel 4 for two seasons. Producing are Amblin TV and ABC Studios, partners on the new ABC drama series Lucky 7, also based on a British format. Written by Kat Likkel & John Hoberg (The Neighbors, My Name Is Earl), who will serve as showrunners, No Angels is about a raucous group of four female nurses working together and sharing the same house in a Bridesmaids-style girl gang comedy. British-born Julie Anne Robinson, who has helmed two episodes of the original series, is set to direct the potential pilot. She is executive producing with Likkel, Hoberg and Amblin’s Justin Falvey and Darryl Frank. Amblin’s portfolio includes series The Americans,...

Fox is to shoot a Us remake of BBC Three comedy Dead Boss.
The UK original starred Sharon Horgan and aired six episodes in June and July 2012.
Fox's version - which again follows a woman falsely convicted and imprisoned for killing her boss - will be written by Suburgatory's Patricia Breen, Deadline reports.
Horgan will executive produce the Us version alongside Aaron Kaplan of Kapital Entertainment.
Horgan and Kaplan previously developed a Us remake of the former's other BBC Three comedy Pulling and also worked on two original comedy projects - Bad Mom and Bad Management.
Fox has given Dead Boss a put-pilot commitment, meaning that the network will have to pay a fee if it does not air the episode - increasing the likelihood of a series pick-up.

One of the longest-running current comedies on TV was cancelled Friday: Rules of Engagement will air its last episode on CBS this season.
While never a critical favorite, the ensemble half-hour sitcom starring Patrick Warburton, David Spade and Megyn Price nonetheless gave CBS a workhorse — a show that could be used to fill holes in the schedule when weaker titles couldn’t earn high enough numbers.

In less than a week, the broadcast networks will start announcing their lineups for the 2013-14 season, and all of them will tout rosters of new shows that are all high-testing, broad-based, sure-fire hits.
That, of course, won't end up being the case. The past few years, only about a third of the new shows the broadcast nets have rolled out made it to a second season. Which means, every year, ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC and The CW are looking to fill some sort of need in their schedules.
That's where Zap2it comes in. As we do every year at this time, we're going to propose some network schedules for next season and assess what each network needs for the coming season.
Pics: 22 pilots we hope become series
So if we were running ABC, its fall lineup might look like this (new shows in italics, all times Et/Pt). The whys follow the schedule.

Pilots! It's that time of year again, when we gaze into the crystal ball — and the massive pile of scripts — and theorize about what will make it to air in the 2013–14 season. Today, we're focusing on comedies (dramas tomorrow, and our top picks on Thursday), and we've broken them down into four major trends that define this year's potential shows. Love is in the air! Well, love, nineties stars, and writers with past hits.I Love the NinetiesPerhaps network executives are hoping to recapture the ratings of the nineties, because TV stars from that decade are all over this year's comedy pilots. The biggest, by a mile, is Michael J. Fox (Spin City), who's starring in a still-untitled NBC series based loosely on his own life. Mr. Seaver, a.k.a. Alan Thicke of Growing Pains, is onboard to play the boss on ABC's office-set Bad Management, which also stars...

It's looked like Rules of Engagement would be cancelled several times over the years but CBS has always ended up bringing it back. This time, it may be that the show doesn't return by mutual decision.
It was recently reported that David Spade had been signed to star in a new ABC pilot, Bad Management. Last month, Patrick Warburton was set to produce and star in a new sitcom pilot for CBS, Jacked Up.
Typically, these roles would be in second position to their parts in Rules but the five stars' contracts have all expired. Sony TV would have to renegotiate with the original cast for them to return to their roles and that seems highly unlikely to happen.
Members of the cast and crew have made it no secret that they haven't appreciated their show being yanked around the...

Exclusive: Actress-comedian Kristen Schaal is set as a lead opposite June Diane Raphael and Jenny Slate in ABC’s single-camera comedy pilot Pulling, from ABC Studios and Aaron Kaplan’s Kapital Entertainment. The project, written by Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky based on the British series and directed by Jason Moore, revolves around three dysfunctional women in their 30s — Donna (Raphael), Karen (Slate) and Louise (Schaal) — living their lives the way they want, even if society tells them they should have it all figured out by this point.

That was quick — just a couple of days after the CW made the decision to end 90210 after this season, the network has tapped series co-star Matt Lanter as the male lead in its pilot Oxygen. The CW brass moved very quickly after the 90210 cancellation to offer Lanter Oxygen, and a deal was closed. The project, written by Meredith Averill and directed by Gary Fleder, centers on Emery (Aimee Teegarden), a teen girl who falls in love with Roman (Lanter), an alien boy, one of nine of his kind integrated into a suburban high school. CBS TV Studio is producing. Lanter is with Wme and manager Faras Rabadi. Greta Lee has joined Sharon Horgan’s ABC single-camera comedy pilot Bad Management.
