Crazy Wonderful
SHOW INFO
Inspired by Bobby's childhood growing up with a genius father with mental illness, this uplifting single camera
comedy features a dysfunctional family that perseveres despite their differences and finds happiness in
unexpected places. After moving to a new town, fifteen year-old Lola wants what most teenagers want, to fit in.
Having a father, Buzz, with 'a beautiful mind' doesn't make that easy. Buzz often mortifies Lola with his public
meltdowns and manic plans, but with some help from her no-nonsense mom Keri-Ann and the rest of her colorful
family, Lola will learn to appreciate the brilliance, insight and magic that Buzz brings into their everyday lives. She
may never be a 'normal' teen, but she gets to celebrate Christmas-ween in July.

Man of the House
SHOW INFO
Inspired by writer Frank Pines' real life, this multi/single-camera hybrid family comedy centers on two recentlydivorced,
very different, sisters who, against their better judgment, move in together to raise their collective kids -
two girls and one boy - under one roof in the suburbs of Miami. Jessie (Alyson Hannigan) is a sensitive social
worker and overprotective mom to teen football star Bradley, and happy-because-she's-in-denial preteen Blair.
Jessie's sister Charli is a beautiful, overly-confident, take-no-prisoners mom who gets her way with everyone,
except maybe her beautiful teenage mini-me of a daughter, Elena. Our story begins when Jessie's husband
unexpectedly dumps her, and she moves her kids in with her sister Charli, but what no one expects is that Charli
immediately decides to kick-out her own husband, creating a new blended family where, no matter how much they
irritate each other, they love and need one another, and are all going to be better off. Sure, her whole life Charli
has always been the "alpha" with Jessie (and with everyone else), and she's certain her ways of parenting (and
doing everything, frankly) are superior, but the big secret is that softie Jessie is actually the rock of this family.
These two sisters are going to lean on each other more than ever to raise these kids and, as Bradley oscillates
between the hyper-male world of high school football and the hyper-female world at home, this group of women is
going to teach him how to be a better man, whether he likes it or not.

Most Likely To
SHOW INFO
Back in the '90s, Markie McQueen (Yvette Nicole Brown) was a high school outcast who was mercilessly bullied by
wealthy, popular Liz Cooney. Twenty-plus years later, the tables have turned: Markie is a successful
businesswoman, beloved and respected by everyone in small-town Glenfield, Missouri; Liz is a Beverly Hills trophy
wife returning to Glenfield with her tail between her legs. When these two single moms find themselves
unexpectedly raising their kids under the same roof, they don't expect to get along. But sometimes the least likely
things happen under the strangest of circumstances.

Single Parents
SHOW INFO
An ensemble comedy that follows a group of single parents as they lean on each other to help raise their sevenyear-
old kids and maintain some kind of personal lives outside of parenthood. The series begins when the group
meets Will, a 30-something guy who's been so focused on raising his daughter that he's lost sight of who he is as a
man. When the other single parents see just how far down the rabbit hole of PTA, parenting, and princesses Will
has gone, they band together to get him out in the dating world and make him realize that being a great parent
doesn't mean sacrificing everything about your own identity.

Southern Hospitality
SHOW INFO
Rebecca (Annaleigh Ashford) left her family's Texas ranch resort years ago to work at the upscale St. Regis hotel
in New York, but after being beckoned home by her smooth-talking cowboy dad Beau (John Laroquette), she's
back and ready to utilize her big city tactics to turn their rustic ranch into a destination resort oozing Southern
hospitality. However, getting her sister Leanne (sweet as a honeybee but with double the stinger) and brother Roy
(a sickly, small man-child who somehow still inherited his dad's lothario ways) to fall in line with her vision will be
the real thorn in Rebecca's side. And that's going to be even harder once Beau reveals a life-changing family
secret.

Steps
SHOW INFO
This family comedy follows four adults in three houses raising three kids after two divorces... and ultimately
forming one big, weird family. At the center of the show are nouveau hippy Bea (Ginnifer Goodwin) who recently
left her happily misanthropic ex-husband Louie (Barry Rothbart) and is moving in with Paul (Kyle Bornheimer), an
elementary school teacher who is eager to be with someone who is nice to him after being recently left by his ex,
the driven, high-powered Genevieve (Ryan Michelle Bathe). As the boundaries blur amongst these families, they
will see that it really does take a village to raise these kids in their new, more complicated lives (even if the village
citizens end up in some uncomfortable scenarios). Based on the Swedish format by the same name

Untitled Justin Noble Project
SHOW INFO
Set at a high-end resort, this workplace ensemble comedy centers on Ellie (Kat Dennings) and Gabe, two guest
service associates, and the co-workers and needy guests that they're stuck with for sixteen hour shifts. Ellie
wonders if she'll ever find her true passion in life and has taken this desk job just to make ends meet. The one
thing that she knows for sure is that she wouldn't make it through a single day without the support of her best
friend, Gabe. The staff will often find themselves in a slew of predicaments, as they try to dodge Ellie's nemesis
and their boss, Belinda (Elizabeth Ho) and her new assistant manager, the hotel owner's lovably incompetent son,
Gordon (Derek Richardson). Based on the book and
blog How May We Hate You.
