CBS has given pilot orders to three more comedies, including one starring Rules' Patrick Warburton.
Warburton would produce and star in Jacked Up, a multi-camera comedy about a beloved, recently retired baseball player, who finds that adjusting to retirement isn't as easy as he thought it would be. Greg Malins will write and executive-produce with Doug Robinson.
While a formal decision hasn't been made about the future of Rules of Engagement, which returned Monday to 9.33 million and a 3.1, down from its Season 6 opener, its chances seem to be diminishing with Warburton's casting.
An untitled single-camera project from Julie Rottenberg and Elisa Zuritsky is based on an Israeli format about a married mom who struggles to balance family, life and work. Rottenberg and Zuritsky will write and executive-produce with Avi Nir, Ran Telem, Daniela London-Dekel and Dana Eden.
Bent's Tad Quill is writing and executive-producing a multi-camera comedy about a recently widowed father who raises his 12-year-old son while jumping back into the dating pool.

Does this affect the possibility of CBS cancelling 2 shows from Vegas / CSI:NY / The Good Wife/ The Mentalist?
ReplyDeleteUnlikely, these are comedies.
ReplyDelete2 of the shows you listed are likely to be cancelled regardless to make way for new shows.
Well, other sites (tvbythenumbers) say that if Golden Boy does good or CBS orders more comedies, CBS could cancel 3 shows, and I really wanna have The Mentalist on a safe spot.
ReplyDeleteFYI, Golden Boy has absolutely no chance of 'doing good'. If it does, I will eat my own hand. Many, many pilots (drama and comedy) are ordered each year, most of which are never picked up. It's how many comedies actually get picked up that you should take notice of, but by that time we'll already know which other shows are renewed, so..
ReplyDeleteI'm almost certain The Mentalist will get a 6th season.
Remember these are just PILOTS, none of them have been ordered to series.
ReplyDeleteColour me unimpressed. (Again the only thing which stands out is that CBS is ordering so many single camera comedies this year. I doubt any of them will make it pickup, but that they're expanding their comedy pool, is still a little socking to me)
