In a competitive situation with multiple networks bidding, CBS has nabbed a multi-camera family comedy from comedy veterans Jeff Astrof (Grounded For Life) and Scrubs and Cougar Town creator Bill Lawrence with a put pilot commitment. Written by Astrof, Middlescence centers on a married couple that struggles to raise four adolescents: their two kids, her older brother and his mother. Warner Bros. TV and Lawrence’s studio-based Doozer Prods. are producing, with Astrof and Doozer’s Lawrence and Jeff Ingold executive producing.

I wonder if, in the future, the public gets to see the pilots ordered and they get to decide whether to pick up or not. Would certainly make it easier for the networks, who would not have to order lots of episodes for the shows that get cancelled, and then no episodes of the shows that would have been popular.
