The Year of the Family Comedy continues as the network's half-hour entries grows to six.
The network has picked up single-camera entries The Enforcers and an untitled Chris Case inter-racial comedy to pilot, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
The Enforcers hails from Friends alums Sherry Bilsing-Graham and Ellen Kreamer and is described as a female buddy comedy about two wildly different single mothers with dreams of being police officers who find themselves partnered as inspectors in the Code Enforcement Department. Instead of fighting crime, they have been relegated to handling petty code breaking, like noise complaints, tree trimming and water misuse.
From Warner Bros. Television, Bilsing-Graham and Kreamer will pen the script and exec produce the comedy alongside Modern Family Emmy winner Gail Mancuso, who will direct.
The untitled Case (Reba) inter-racial comedy, meanwhile, hails from 20th Century Fox Television and follows Jay “Havoc” Hammond, an African-American, ex-NFL lineman who recently moved in with his white wife and her two oddball sons, as he struggles to win the most challenging game of his life: fatherhood. Case will pen the script and exec produce alongside Chris Spencer, Evan Silverberg and Daniel Rappaport. Malcolm D. Lee will also exec produce and direct the pilot.
