03:00 - Ordinary People - A Romantic Comedy with Musical Elements from John Legend Receives Put Pilot at ABC
EXCLUSIVE: Ordinary People, a romantic comedy single-camera comedy with music elements executive produced by John Legend and his personality Chrissy Teigen, has been set up at ABC with a put pilot commitment. It will be written by Tracy Oliver (Survivor’s Remorse), who is expanding her writing collaboration with Black-ish creator Kenya Barris to the small screen. The duo, who have co-written together Barbershop 3 and an untitled Girls’ Trip movie at Universal, are reteaming for Ordinary People, with Oliver writing and Barris executive producing.
Said to be loosely inspired by Legend’s relationship with his wife Teigen, Ordinary People explores an inter-racial couple with very different personalities and big ambitions. Not surprising given Legend’s background, music will play an element in the show. The project is a co-production between ABC Studios, where Barris is under an overall deal, and Legendary Television, where Legend’s Get Lifted Film Company has an overall pact.

23:10 - Grandfathered - Andrew Daly Cast in a Recurring Role
Andrew Daly (Silicon Valley) has landed a recurring role on John Stamos’ Fox comedy Grandfathered.
Daly will play Bruce, an all-American, fleece-wearing dad type who is back in town after working as an aeronautical engineer in China for years. Bruce used to date Sara (Paget Brewster) off and on when Gerald (Josh Peck) was a kid and, in many ways, he served as a surrogate father. While Bruce is extremely well-mannered and a little dorky, he can seemingly do anything, which drives Jimmy (Stamos) crazy.

22:15 - Shooter - USA Networks Pilot Casts Omar Epps as a Series Regular
House vet Omar Epps is pulling the trigger on a series-regular role in USA Network’s Ryan Phillippe-fronted drama pilot Shooter, TVLine has learned exclusively.
Based on the 2007 big-screen hit of the same name starring Mark Wahlberg (an EP on Shooter) and the Stephen Hunter novel Point of Impact that served as its source material, the project centers on Phillippe’s Bob Lee Swagger, an off-the-grid former Marine sniper who is coaxed into action by his former commanding officer-turned-Secret Service agent Isaac Johnson (Epps) to thwart the killing of the President. Ultimately double-crossed and framed for the attempt, he must call upon all the skills he acquired as a decorated Marine sharpshooter to avoid capture while hunting down and exposing the traitors who set him up.

21:00 - Front Man - FOX Gives Pilot Production Commitment to Comedy from Elizabeth Banks & Suburgatory Creator
Fox has given a pilot production commitment to a comedy project from “Suburgatory” creator Emily Kapnek, Elizabeth Banks and Max Handelman, Variety has learned.
Titled “Front Man,” the series follows Paul, an overindulged only child who is born to two doting helicopter parents. As he approaches 30, Paul is forced to acknowledge that his dream of becoming a famous singer and songwriter isn’t happening. When he’s wrenched from the comfort of his family home, he must try to stand on his own so he takes the gig of front man for a local wedding band — where he learns about much more than wedding reception staples.
Hailing from Warner Bros. Television, Kapnek’s Piece of Pie Productions, and Banks and Handelman’s Brownstone Productions, the half-hour single-camera sitcom will be exec produced by Kapnek and the husband/wife duo. Kapnek, who is also known for creating the ABC romantic comedy “Selfie,” will serve as writer. If ordered to pilot, Banks will direct, so long her schedule permits.

21:00 - Scorpion - Season 2 - EW Interview
Thanks to RD for the heads up.
Case in point: When the CBS thriller returns this fall, he’s stuck doing community service to make up for his reckless Ferrari catastrophe from the finale. Thoughthe reunited Team Scorpion saved that day, Walter’s on his own when the season begins — until he meets Ray (guest star Kevin Weisman), a man who tests both Walter’s patience and challenges him to be more human. “What that relationship asks is, ‘What can the smartest man in the world possibly gain from becoming friends with maybe the dumbest man in the world?’” EP Nick Santora tells EW with a laugh. “And what Walter learns is there’s a lot to gain.” With Ray as a new friend, Walter can begin to understand what it’s like to be “normal,” without the pressure he constantly feels for being a genius. “Walter really does open up to the idea of camaraderie,” Gabel says. “They can talk about something that doesn’t necessarily have to have a massive end game result.”
