Rhett Giles is producing "Watercolor," with Rajeev Dassani directing from Conrad Goode's script. Production is slated to start this month in Los Angeles.
Story is centered on a smalltown girl, wise beyond her years, who returns home and inherits more problems than she brought back.
Things are getting pretty serious in the race for Republican presidential nomination, but there’s still room for some levity. Funny Or Die and Yahoo! have joined forces to host a mock debate on Friday, poking fun at the current and former candidates as well as President Obama.
Larry King will moderate the 16-minute program, which “features Horatio Sanz as Newt Gingrich, John C. McGinley as Rick Santorum, Greg Germann as Jon Huntsman, Patrick Warburton as Rick Perry, Leslie Jordan as Ron Paul, Erin Gibson as Michele Bachmann, Bryan Safi as Marcus Bachmann, and Reggie Brown as President Obama,” according to a press release.
Former boxing champ Mike Tyson will also bring back his Herman Cain impersonation for the occasion.
Update: A reader pointed out: What about Mitt Romney? The former Massachusetts gov won't be left out, according to Funny Or Die. He'll be played by Rob Delaney.
The debate airs on Yahoo! News on Friday at 8 a.m. ET.
Not only was it hilarious and consistently inventive (it was one of the first to use the single-camera format that has now become the standard), it stayed true to sitcom conventions of wrapping your story up in one episode but still left little threads danglin' for an ongoing arc.
Now its best actor is returning to the land of weekly laughs - Dr. Cox himself, John C. McGinley, has landed a role alongside Alan Arkin in the ABC series "Smothered," about a young couple who feel - you guessed it - smothered by their parents.
McGinley and Julie White ("Law & Order: Special Victims Unit") will play one set of parents while Arkin and Marcia Gay Harden ("Mystic River") will play the other set. Kyle Howard ("My Boys") plays one half of the couple, while the girl has yet to be cast. Andrew Reich and Ted Cohen, longtime writers and producers on "Friends," created and will produce.
Adam Arkin is no slouch in the acting department either, having appeared in a recurrig role on "The West Wing" and giving a quietly hilarious role in the Coen Brothers film "A Serious Man."
With him, McGinley, and Harden, that's an impressive line-up for a multi-camera sitcom, usually the launching pad for up-and-comers and the resting place for come-and-goners. I'll be eager to see if there's more to it than an admittedly generic premise.

I can validate any of this though, he may have moved to a different agency.
The erstwhile Dr. Cox has landed a recurring role in Luck, HBO’s upcoming horse racing drama from David Milch and Michael Mann and starring Dustin Hoffman. The highly anticipated series promises to take viewers inside the provocative world of horse racing, with a specific spotlight cast on the owners, gamblers, jockeys and diverse gaming industry players.
McGinley will play a genial swindler working in cahoots with his daughter.
Luck is slated to premiere in late 2011 or early 2012.
