Sometimes you just REALLY gotta go, ya know?

I keep forgetting that the B-word should be censored here. Because obviously we need to protect the innocence of the preschoolers that spend their time here.

I'm 7. What's this B-word you speak of?

UPDATE: NBC Picks Up Comedy Pilots From Dan Mazer & Tom Werner, Gary Sanchez Prods, And JJ Philbin/Jason Katims
By NELLIE ANDREEVA

2ND UPDATE, 4:40 PM: Here is NBC’s third and final comedy pilot order of the day for Ellen More Or Less (previously Formerly Fat Girl), written by JJ Philbin who executive produces with Jason Katims, who is behind NBC’s new comedy series About A Boy. The single-camera, from Universal TV and Katims’ True Jack Prods, , is loosely based on the non-fiction book 10 Lessons From A Former Fat Girl and centers on an average size woman who, after losing 100 pounds, begins reinventing herself in life and love. NBC gave the single-camera project, executive produced by Philbin and True Jack’s Katims and Michelle Lee. a pilot production commitment in September. The pickup means that both high profile single-camera comedy projects this season about a formerly fat protagonist have gotten a greenlight — Fox recently ordered Fatrick, which is already casting.

UPDATE, 4:18 PM: NBC has also picked up Mission Control, a Universal TV-produced comedy from studio-based Gary Sanchez Productions and executive producers Adam McKay and Will Ferrell. How To Be A Gentleman creator-star David Hornsby will write and exec produce the pilot, a workplace ensemble said to be in the tone of Anchorman. Set in 1962, it examines what happens when a strong woman butts heads with a macho astronaut in the race to land on the moon. Hornsby is with WME.

NBC has given a pilot order to Love Is Relative, a multi-camera comedy from writer Dan Mazer, co-writer of Sacha Baron Cohen’s films Borat and Bruno. The project, from 20th TV, Tom Werner’s Good Humor TV and 3 Arts, centers on a wife and husband who begin to see their marriage in a whole new way after her newly divorced brother moves in. Mazer is exec producing with Werner and 3 Arts’ Tom Lassally.

I wish they would credit Hornsby for It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, rather than that **** CBS sitcom he was a part of.

In somewhat related and really bizarre news, I just learned there's a porn parody of Duck Dynasty.

I can see it. I don't want to see it... but I can see it.

I know I shouldn't be surprised it exists, but somehow I still am.

Kyle Chandler To Star In Netflix’s Thriller Drama Series From Todd A. Kessler, Daniel Zelman, Glenn Kessler & Sony TV
By NELLIE ANDREEVA

EXCLUSIVE: Sought-after TV leading man Kyle Chandler is off the market for this coming pilot season. I’ve learned that the Friday Night Lights alum, who already had received a ton of pilot offers, has signed on to star in Netflix‘s 13-episode psychological thriller from Damages creators Todd A. Kessler, Daniel Zelman and Glenn Kessler and Sony Pictures TV. Written and executive produced by the Kessler brothers and Zelman in their follow-up to the acclaimed FX/DirecTV legal thriller starring Glenn Close, the untitled series centers on a family of adult siblings whose secrets and scars are revealed when the black sheep oldest brother returns home. Netflix and Sony would not comment, but I hear Chandler will play the married middle brother who takes care of the family. The deal comes after a lengthy courtship, with the project landing Chandler for the role that he had been considered the prototype for. Filming is slated to begin in late March in the Florida Keys.

The series reunites Chandler with Sony TV, where he starred in the studio’s Showtime drama pilot The Vatican last year. Since Friday Night Lights ended its run, Chandler had been primarily focused on features. He was in two films nominated for Best Picture Oscar last year, winner Argo and Zero Dark Thirty, and he is in a best picture Oscar nominee again this year, The Wolf Of Wall Street. Chandler is with Gersh and Brillstein Entertainment.

Oh, CBS still exists?

Yep. And they have all the viewers.

ALL OF THEM.

Comedy Starring Anthony Anderson From Laurence Fishburne Gets ABC Pilot Order
By NELLIE ANDREEVA

ABC has greenlighted Black-ish, a single-camera comedy pilot starring Anthony Anderson. The project, which had a script commitment with penalty, hails from ABC Studios, Laurence Fishburne‘s Cinema Gypsy and Principato Young. Written by Kenya Barris (The Game) loosely based on his personal experiences, Black-ish centers on an upper-middle-class black man (Anderson) who struggles to raise his children with some sense of cultural identity despite constant contradictions and obstacles coming from his liberal wife, old-school father, and his own assimilated, color-blind kids. Cinema Gypsy’s Fishburne, his producing partner Helen Sugland and Tom Russo executive produce with Anderson and Barris along with PYE’s Peter Principato, Paul Young and Brian Dobbins. There is no deal in place yet for Fishburne to act but he had been open to do guest appearances, and there was an idea for him to play Anderson’s father. Fun fact: The pilot order for Black-ish comes on the same day that Showtime gave a series order to a comedy titled Happyish.

Texas Mega Church Drama From Liz Heldens & David Janollari Gets NBC Pilot Order
By NELLIE ANDREEVA

Liz Heldens, creator of NBC‘s 2009 medical drama Mercy and last season’s mystery drama Deception and co-creator of the network’s summer series Camp, is a step away from returning to NBC’s primetime with a pilot order for her latest project, drama Salvation. Produced by Universal TV and David Janollari’s studio-based David Janollari Entertainment, Salvation is a family saga set against the backdrop of a Texas mega church where faith, family and corruption are explored in equal measure. The pilot centers on Jennifer Strickland, who has to defend her children, church and religious beliefs after her husband dies under mysterious circumstances. Heldens wrote the script and is executive producing with Janollari. This marks the first pilot order for Janollari, in the first year of an overall deal at NBC. It is NBC’s seventh drama pilot as the network has been particularly aggressive, ordering 14 pilots (7 comedy, 7 drama) and two straight to series projects (Tina Fey/Robert Carlock and Mr. Robinson) so far.
