GREATER GOOD (FOX, New!) - Mike Barker and Stoney Sharp are set to team for a potential animated comedy at the network which "asks whether the world is worth saving. Maybe? It's a workplace comedy about an international team of highly qualified but socially remedial misfits working and living in a hi-tech laboratory in the middle of rural Oklahoma. The characters must navigate petty office politics and challenging interpersonal relationships in order to band together and save the world... for the Greater Good." FOX Entertainment is producing.
