ABC gave the greenlight to two new comedies, including
Let's Rob Mick Jagger, which is a single-camera comedy about a janitor and his friends who plan to rob Mick Jagger. It's executive produced by David Letterman. The original plan for the show was to rob
Jeff Goldblum, but he's already busy with NBC. Jagger just recently signed on to appear in several episodes of the show that is all about robbing him.
ABC also picked up
A Day in the Life, which has different views of a couple's wedding day. How are they going to get an entire season out of this premise? I dunno, either. The network also renewed
What About Brian? for a second season.
And, part-improv/part-scripted comedy
Sons & Daughters did not get renewed for a second season. Creator Fred Goss (
interviewed earlier this year by Joel) confirms cancellation
on his website.

Lots of casting news
today in
The
Hollywood Reporter.
Dylan McDermott has joined the cast of the ABC
drama,
A House Divided. It's about a rift between a midwestern farming community and the federal government. I
wish I knew more because, wow, that sounds like a snoozer. Sarah Clarke (aka 'Nina' on
24) is also part of the
cast. She plays the wife of the lead character, which might just be McDermott.
Wendie Malick, of
Just Shoot Me and
Jake in Progress, has
been cast in the ABC comedy pilot,
A Day in the Life. The show is about a young couple's wedding day, from
different points of view (I imagine it'll have to advance past the wedding day). Malick plays the mother of the
bride.
