More pilots land at NBC, ABC, Fox

By Nellie Andreeva


LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - NBC has handed a cast-contingent pilot order to the drama "M.O.N.Y."

The project centers on a socially conscious New York public advocate who is thrust into the uncomfortable position of becoming interim mayor and struggles to balance his moral center with the hardball realities of the city's politics.

The network also has greenlighted "Area 52," a comedy pilot set at a remote location in the Nevada desert where the U.S. government houses an extraterrestrial.

Meanwhile, Fox picked up comedy pilot "The Rules of Starting Over," which revolves around a 35-year-old and his buddies -- all newly single after years of marriage. They jump back into the dating scene and learn the painful rules of starting over.

ABC, meanwhile, has welcomed "American Family," which revolves around a chaotic clan that does what it takes to maintain appearances for the neighbors.

It also ordered an untitled one-hour comedy pilot about a successful female attorney who leaves her high-powered big-city law firm to reunite with her crazy family in her hometown of Savannah, Ga.
