[03/28/07 - 04:53 PM] USA Network Announces Ambitious Slate of "Character"- Driven Projects for 2007/2008 Among them is an FBI team going undercover as a normal suburban family to solve a national security case; a woman who turns to crime solving after a life-threatening accident renders her fearless; and a top crisis negotiator who becomes a relationship counselor in New York City.
STATUS: previously in development (2007-2008 season)
DEVELOPMENT STAGE: script
DESCRIPTION: (from USA's press release) From executive producer Donald De Line ("The Stepford Wives," "The Italian Job") comes THE NEGOTIATOR. For ten years Archie Stark has been a top crisis negotiator for the FBI, averting disasters and saving lives with an unconventional, in-your-face style. But in the new, by-the-book FBI, Archie's abrasive approach doesn't have a place, and he finds himself without a job. So Archie puts his life-and-death problem solving skills to an even more difficult test: he becomes a relationship counselor in New York City. If he can diffuse a hostage situation, surely Archie can counsel a couple on the verge of a break-upif only it were that easy. Executive producer is Donald De Line. Writer is Stephen Falk.
