Pilots At Other Networks!

CBS has meanwhile, ordered a pilot for WE THE JURY, multicam sitcom  about a group of jurors who are sequestered together until they all agree on a verdict and they can’t even agree on lunch. They've also ordered Chuck Lorre's B POSITIVE about a dad trying to find a kidney donor, who forms an unlikely bond with a rough around the edges woman from his past who

volunteers her own. ABC has ordered MY VILLAGE pilot about an empty nester mom who wonders how she ended up alone while her children live their best lives thousands of miles away. She decides her place is with her family and as she reinserts herself into their lives, her kids realize they might actually need her more than they thought. NBC has given a green light to JEFFERIES multicam sitcom starring Jim Jefferies as a fictionalized version of himself – a comedian with a unique and often controversial take on modern life, relationships and co-parenting with his best friend. NBC has also picked up a pilot for NIGHT SCHOOL about a unique mix of adults at a night school GED prep class who unexpectedly bond over their shared experience and find themselves helping each other both inside and outside of the classroom!

MONICA POTTER'S SITCOM

EDDIE CIBRIAN, DONALD FAISON, JOSH HOPKINS AS EX HUSBANDS

We're in the middle of the casting season for future comedy pilots (the first episodes of possible new sitcoms) and the spy is bringing you the latest updates today on the stars who will take the roles in them. Definitely the most starstudded of them will be NBC's multi camera pilot (multi camera means with audience and laughter, single camera being without it) which is still untitled but I informed you previously that it will star Monica Potter as Bridget, a woman who juggles her busy family life as well as her three ex husbands, which proves to be difficult when she starts dating again. The names of her three husbands have been revealed: Eddie Cibrian will play Jason, Bridget’s first ex husband, a slick professional gambler. Donald Faison plays Bridget’s second ex husband, the very earnest Kevin, who is positive and upbeat at all times, and a staunch protector of the environment who is also “accidentally” extremely wealthy. Rory Scovel plays Robert, Bridget’s third ex husband. A pompous writer and college professor, Robert went to Harvard and can’t wait to let everyone know it. Josh Hopkins plays Tom, a veterinarian in the midst of mutual attraction with Bridget, an animal lover.

JOHN STAMOS' FOX SITCOM

CASTS JOSH PECK AS HIS SON
When it comes to Fox, according to 'Deadline', they have hired Josh Peck to lead the untitled new sitcom with John Stamos who plays Jimmy, a charismatic longtime bachelor whose life is upended when he discovers he’s a father — and a grandfather. Josh Peck will be the son Jimmy didn’t know he had – a sweet unemployed techie who is himself the proud and surprisingly capable father of a two-year-old daughter, the product of a one-night stand with the sexy Vanessa.

ABC'S NBA SITCOM PILOT

CASTS SKYLAR ASTIN AS LEAD

Another untitled comedy pilot, but at ABC, has cast Skylar Astin whose previous sitcom GROUND FLOOR has been cancelled. The new sitcom will be an NBA buddy comedy about an NBA rookie who doesn’t speak English and a translator who doesn’t speak basketball. Skylar Astin is the translator, Jason, a sweet and a little wimpy guy with no athletic prowess who is working as a teaching assistant and living in his parents’ basement when he is recruited by the NBA team. A munchkin among giants in the world of professional basketball, Jason soon discovers that he’s being paid to be a lot more than just a translator. He also must be the new player’s 24/7 guide, best friend, mentor and protector, and he also has to find a way to light a fire under this incredibly tall and talented athlete who seems to lack drive.

CBS'S 'LIFE IN PIECES' PILOT

THOMAS SADOSKI, COLIN HANKS, DIANNE WIEST, BETSY BRANDT
Over at CBS, one of their strongest new comedy pilots is LIFE IN PIECES about one family, the Shorts, as told through the separate stories of its different family members. Thomas Sadoski (THE NEWS ROOM) plays middle sibling Matt Short who can’t catch a break, the most recent being a failed career that has forced him back home with his parents. Colin Hanks and Betsy Brandt will play the other two siblings, while legendary Dianne Wiest will appear as their mother who adores her family and would do absolutely anything for them — as long she agrees with it. Zoe Lister Jones (FRIENDS WITH BETTER LIVES) plays Greg Short’s (Hanks) wife Jen, a woman used to being in control who now has a baby and finds for the first time she’s not.. Angelique Cabral (ENLISTED) will be Colleen, the woman Matt has just fallen in love with who is stuck in a messy breakup with her ex-fiancé.
