FOX was the first network to announce pilots they picked up today. A couple of them sound pretty good
Perhaps the highest profile pick-up was Brooklyn Nine-Nine, the Andy Samberg/Andre Braugher ensemble comedy pilot from Parks and Rec showrunner Michael Schur about “what happens when a detective who doesn’t take anything seriously gets a new ‘by-the-book’ boss who wants him to grow up and respect the badge.”
In addition to Brooklyn Nine-Nine, on the comedy side, Fox picked up the Christopher Meloni pilot, Surviving Jack, about a boy becoming a man, and a man becoming a father, based on Justin Halpern’s semi-autobiographical book, I Suck at Girls. (Scrubs‘ Bill Lawrence is a producer).
....
On the drama side, the buzziest pilot pick up is Greg Kinnear’s Rake, based on the Australian series. It centers on “Keegan Deane, one of life’s great addicts, a brilliant and frustratingly charming criminal defense attorney, whose chaotic and self-destructive personal life often gets in the way of his professional one. He takes on the cases that nobody else will touch, ruled by a resolute optimism, belief in justice and dogged determination to defend those who seem beyond redemption – much like himself.” Rake will likely be a mid-season series, that will follow a similar release strategy to Kevin Bacon’s The Following.
