The network has given pilot deals to two shows from superproducer Bruckheimer, including the first sitcom from his company. The other is a drama along the lines of “Doogie Howser, M.D.,” the Hollywood trade papers report.
Bruckheimer and the WB worked together during the 2003 development season on “Fearless,” a drama about a young FBI agent genetically incapable of feeling fear. A pilot was screened for critics, but creative problems caused Bruckheimer to fold the show before it ever hit the airwaves.
The drama project for the WB focuses on a 17-year-old practicing lawyer and his relationship with a mentor. “The Practice” writer-producer Jonathan Shapiro will write and executive produce the pilot, with Bruckheimer and Jonathan Littman serving as exec producers.
The WB made a blind commitment to the sitcom, which has no writer, nor even a premise, attached to it yet.
