With fall schedules still in tremendous flux due to the writers' strike, broadcasters continue to seek out new projects that could work on their schedules--sometime next season.
To wit: ABC has ordered a pilot presentation from Victor Fresco (Andy Richter Controls the Universe). Produced by 20th Century Fox TV, the single-cam comedy project is about a moral guy in an amoral world.
And speaking of amorality, comic Louis C.K., whose last TV series was HBO's ribald family sitcom Lucky Louie, is writing a new half-hour comedy project for CBS. In fact, C.K., will reunite with his Lucky co-star Pamela Adlon, to write and star in the project, another family comedy, this time produced by CBS Paramount Network TV.
NBC, meanwhile, has signed David Eick--executive producer of Sci Fi's Battlestar Galactica--to a two-year overall deal at Universal Media Studios. Earlier this season, Eick helped shepherd NBC's high-profile remake of The Bionic Woman, which ultimately failed to draw viewers. Among other projects, Eick currently is working on Sci Fi's Galactica prequel Caprica.
