Charlie Foxtrot
SHOW INFO
Jason Biggs is the loveable, eager-to-please Charlie Taylor. He is from a military family - but while his father
earned a purple heart in Vietnam and his fearless brother Joe is about to be deployed to Iraq -- Charlie plays a
different role in the Army: he's a dentist. His cautious nature makes him better at giving out advice on flossing than
commanding the troops (or tending to his dating life).
He's the opposite of his mother, Sue, a sharp-tongued widow who even her sons will admit is "not nice". She
disapproves of Joe's fiancé Angelina, a headstrong single mom who plays by her own rules. Together with her two
teenage misfits, Maria and Hector, she brings a little chaos in to Charlie, Joe and Sue's regimented life on base at
Fort Bragg.
Before he deploys, Joe asks Charlie to watch out for Angelina and her kids. It's a solemn promise, and one he
clearly expects Charlie to keep. Unbeknownst to Charlie, he asks the same thing of Angelina: watch over his
brother, who could use a little help himself.
In Joe's absence, the family has to pull together to make sure the kids stay on track, Sue and Angelina get along,
and Charlie becomes a hero in his own right.

SHOW INFO
Comedy legend Carol Burnett returns to television as 93-year old Vivian Valmont, a glamorous, Hollywood film star
whose larger-than-life persona is larger than her current fan base. Alternately imperious, witty, needy and
affectionate, it is hard to tell which Vivian you'll get day-to-day, or even moment-to-moment.
Vivian has lived in the same magnificent home for 60 years, and never plans to leave, yet her current precarious
financial state means she has no choice but to sell it. But her best friend and manager, Edward Von Glimpse, has
come up with an inspired plan to sell the house with a very odd provision - whoever buys the house has to let
Vivian live in it with them for the rest of her life.
It's not a condition most people would agree to, but Ted Peters, ever-the-optimist, convinces his skeptical wife,
Wendy, to take the plunge, along with their two children, 12-year-old Jessica and 9-year-old Charlie. The chance
to live in this amazing home in the city's best school district at a bargain price is too rare an opportunity to pass up
in the out-of-reach real estate market of Los Angeles.
While living with the unpredictable and demanding Vivian might be a steep price to pay to finally own their first
home, the Peters discover that having someone with the kind of life experience Vivian has also comes with
unexpected benefits. Conversely, while Vivian has enjoyed her privacy and living a life without compromise, it's
hard to ignore the fact that this new family injects some much needed life and vitality into the solitary, out-of-touch
existence she'd been living. Together, this new, merged family learns to appreciate the value of having three
generations under one roof.
This multi-camera comedy hails from writer Michael Saltzman (Mad Men, Murphy Brown, Wings, Halt and Catch
Fire), who executive produces with Amy Poehler (Saturday Night Live, Parks and Recreation) and Brooke Posch,
Dave Becky (3 Arts Entertainment), and Michael Pelmont (The Nacelle Company) through Universal Television.

Jalen vs. Everybody
SHOW INFO
Current ABC/ESPN analyst and former 13-year pro-basketball star, Jalen Rose, stars as himself in this single
camera comedy inspired by his life. A single dad to feisty teenager, Samantha, and bookish 6-year old, Nathan,
Jalen struggles to keep up with his kids while juggling his commitments as a sports commentator. He also co-hosts
his ESPN Radio show 'Jalen & Jacoby' with his good friend, David Jacoby.
This delicate routine is disrupted when Samantha begins demanding that her father take her and her friends out for
expensive sushi, and when Jalen discovers that his daughter is becoming social media obsessed. He realizes that
he must change his "fun dad" tactics and start laying down the law before both his kids grow up too fast.
He tries his best to manage it all, along with his ex and his kids' mother, Denise (Kelly Jenrette), but then again
with Jalen's jet set lifestyle Denise doesn't feel she that can fully count on him. Also keeping him in check are his
mom and spitfire grandmother who insist that he take their calls no matter what he is in the middle of, and fiercely
believe he should marry his much younger, fashionista girlfriend, Angela. Jalen's loyal assistant, Becky, does what
she can to help him keep it all afloat.
As Jalen struggles to keep everyone in his life happy, at work and at home, his status as a celebrity adds an
additional layer of challenges. Wherever Jalen goes, the public is there to take pictures and post about him online.
Social media stories, whether true or false, spiral out of control forcing Jalen to constantly explain himself to the
press, his bosses, and worst of all, his family. And if these humiliations aren't enough, strangers and colleagues
are happy to remind him of that one epic game in which Kobe Bryant had the best game of his career, while Jalen
was guarding him.
Pro-athletes and ESPN personalities will guest star in this new comedy created by Nahnatchka Khan (Fresh off the
Boat), with Jake Kasdan and Melvin Mar (Speechless, Fresh off the Boat) executive producing through 20th
Century Fox.

Libby & Malcolm
SHOW INFO
Libby Wright (Felicity Huffman) is a smart, opinionated Red-state Republican and Malcolm Black (Courtney B.
Vance) is a smooth-talking Blue-state Democrat. Polar opposites - except when it comes to love. Against all
odds, this unlikely couple just got married, and are now settling into their new home in Los Angeles along with
Malcolm's three kids: nerdy and neurotic eleven year-old Malcolm Jr. aka MJ (Jahi Winston), confident thirteen
year-old Cassius (Sayeed Shahidi) who knows how to game the system, and fifteen year-old Naya (Monique
Green), the uber-smart, defiant daughter who has no interest in having a booty-less white stepmom.
Libby and Malcolm also co-host their new political show "Black & Wright", where these fiery pundits go head-tohead
on all of today's hot button issues. Randal Martin (Gary Cole) is their crazy, bordering-on-sociopathic
executive producer who loves to stoke their fire. For this, he's hired two segment producers to keep their
arguments in overdrive: Zevina "Zev" Adler (Caitlin McGee), a techno journalist who lives by the tweet-based 24-
second news cycle, and Bernie Wilson (James Lesure), a put-upon old-school newsman who hates the vapid
Twittersphere.
Together, Libby and Malcolm duke it out on-air to sway an audience of millions, hoping to get their polarized
viewers to vote "red" or "blue" on the show's signature Lean-O-Meter. But when this fiercely competitive couple
drops the ball at home, they realize they have to set aside their differences and find the middle ground to raise
Malcolm's three kids and prove the skeptics wrong about this marriage of total opposites.
All's fair in love and ratings in this family comedy from creators/executive producers Kenya Barris and Vijal Patel
(black-ish).

Losing It
SHOW INFO
Andy Baker (Jon Cryer) is a successful acupuncturist who turned to Eastern Philosophy as a way to cope with his
crazy family. While he's close with his mother, his relationship with his father is complicated. Especially since Andy
finds himself having to take care of the dad who never really took care of him. A bit of a control freak, Andy
believes he can fix anything. Except for maybe his marriage, which has been in trouble ever since he caught his
wife with another man.
Andy's dad, Leo, the patriarch of the family, is charming, even when he's being surly. An old-school dad, Leo
claims to love all his kids. And perhaps he does. He just tells his other kids more than he tells Andy. Leo is having
some memory problems, but he's still John Wayne. He just can't always remember where he parked his horse.
Andy's mom, Susan, is a tornado of love, running around taking care of everyone. When she's not managing the
family business, she's either doting on her kids, or helping her husband deal with his memory loss. She's the glue
that holds the family together.
Andy's younger brother, Owen, has the perfect life. A successful birthday party magician, Owen only works two
days a week. But don't let the cape fool you, after the second party on Saturday, he's usually hooking up with the
divorced mom that hired him. Handsome and charming, Owen doesn't have a care in the world... until he
discovers he got one of the birthday party moms pregnant. Now Owen has to come to terms with the fact that he's
losing his freedom.
Andy's younger sister, Charlie (Natalie Morales), is the adopted golden child in the Baker family. As her dad puts it,
"That's the beauty of adoption, you can pick out exactly the one you want." In all the ways that Andy and his dad
bump heads, Charlie is daddy's little girl. Charlie has succeeded at everything she's ever done. Which is why she
is so desperate to hide the fact that her once successful boutique bakery went out of business three months ago.
And now, Charlie's starting to lose faith in herself.
As the kids and Leo prepare an amazing birthday for Susan, all of their secrets come out. What they discover is,
between infidelity, new parenthood, memory loss, and, let's just say, life, they're all losing it. But, if they can come
together as a family, maybe-- just maybe-- they can find their way out.

SHOW INFO
Sheila Gable is a tough Midwestern mom who doesn't sugarcoat anything - well, except her famous "Dr. Pepper
Ham." Recently laid off after a factory closure, Sheila's been applying for entry-level jobs with no luck. She has five
kids to support and the family's budget has dwindled from "small" to "pathetic." Luckily, the Gables have their
trademark gallows humor - and shared love of pop culture - to carry them through these lean times.
Sheila's 14 year-old daughter, Dusty is a legend in her own mind - an outgoing, boy-crazy diva who makes
onlookers cringe. 13 year-old Dolly is the sardonic, bookish foil to her older sister. Next, we have sweet, dreamy 10
year-old Yoko who just wants to save the world's bees, 7 year-old Banksy, who wishes he wasn't the only boy in
the house, and 5 year-old Beebee, the cheerful mascot of the family.
Sheila's father, Paul "Grampy" Kosinski is a pathological narcissist who always seems to need something from his
daughter. Right now, he needs a roof over his head. The timing couldn't be crappier, but he vows to pitch in and
help Sheila as much as he can. Can Grampy redeem himself after decades of jackassery? (Probably not.)
Join the "Able Gables" in their offbeat world of TV, tequila and junk food in this comedy from Berlanti TV, based on

Schooled
SHOW INFO
It is 1990-something at William Penn Academy, the same Philadelphia area high school featured in The Goldbergs
. Adam, Barry and Erica have all graduated, and it is the first time in memory the faculty has not had to deal with
number one smother, Beverly Goldberg. But despite this welcomed development, devoted gym teacher, Coach
Rick Mellor (Bryan Callen), faces an even bigger challenge.
School counselor John Glascott (Tim Meadows) has just been promoted to Head of School and is ready to make
big changes. Armed with a PhD, he has a modern vision of education and is ready to abolish the stale teaching
techniques of the 80s. He describes it to Mellor in terms he can understand - everyone gets a trophy. Mellor's old
school philosophy is the complete opposite. He believes in competition and personal achievement and vows to
prove to Glascott that his teaching methods still have value.
Glascott's job only gets tougher as Mellor's energy and contrasting philosophy drives him to bigfoot Glascott's big
plans and take over his "all community share session", turning it into a pep rally.
Complicating his life even more, Glascott has hired his sister Lucy as his secretary, allowing her three sociallychallenged
kids to attend William Penn. They are 16 year-old Felicia who, since her parents' divorce, has been on
a rebellious, destructive path; 14 year-old Gigi, a positive and quirky kid; and Gigi's twin brother Oscar -- a gentle,
shy giant. Lucy initially embraces the opportunity for her know-it-all big brother to be an influence in her childrens'
lives, but she soon secretly turns to Mellor and his old-school techniques to keep them out of trouble.
The new comedy is from Adam F. Goldberg, creator of The Goldbergs. It is based on the real teachers who
inspired him and is "dedicated to teachers everywhere."

Splitting Up Together
SHOW INFO
Lena and Martin have finally made the decision to divorce. The romance has died, as well as the sex, and they
have become more like camp counselors for their three children 13 year-old Mae, 11 year-old Mason, and 7 yearold
Milo.
Lena's sister Maya, her parents Henry and Alma, and best friends Arthur and Camille are surprised by the news
and confused when they find out that the couple will still live together. They wonder what will happen when they
start to date other people.
Their arrangement is unusual: Lena and Martin will live in separate parts of the house, and split up parenting duties
on a weekly basis. On the 'off-duty week' that parent lives in the garage and is free to do whatever he or she
wants. The kids seem to go with the flow, at least at first.
Lena, the supermom control freak, is just waiting for Martin to be overwhelmed by the household and kid duties,
but is surprised when he isn't. Not that everything is perfect. During Lena's on-duty week, Martin is touched that
she comes to him for help, something that never has happened before.
As the couple starts to see each other in a different light, they realize this divorce could be the best thing for their
marriage.
Based on the Danish series Splitting Up Together, writer Emily Kapnek (Suburgatory, Selfie) executive producers

Start Up
SHOW INFO
Alex Schuman (Zach Braff) is a brilliant radio journalist, husband, and father of two who is about to plunge into the
great unknown. He's been working on the same radio show for 16 years and is tired of having his most original
pitches rejected for fluff pieces. So he decides to put everything on the line, quit, and start a podcast company of
his own to tell the stories that he believes in.
His wife, Noush, is not thrilled about giving up his income, but loves Alex and so decides to support his leap, even
though she still she has some concerns. She knows he is a great storyteller, but questions his ability to raise
money and manage a small business. For this, he assembles a dream team to round out his skills: radio producer,
Deirdre Riordan, who's only a little bit in love with him; and his best friend from high school, fast-talking salesman
Eddie Ramirez, a slick numbers guru with a business degree. The team quickly rents some office space that they
share with other unlikely entrepreneurs trying to make big things happen, too.
After Alex makes some disastrous pitches for funding, it's his kids, 11 year-old budding magician Ben and 5 yearold
Soraya, who give him the focus and confidence to fight for his dream.
Based on the podcast START UP, Zach Braff stars, directs and executive produces with Matt Tarses (Scrubs) and

Untitled City Mayor Project
SHOW INFO
Young rapper Courtney Rose (Brandon Micheal Hall) needs his big break. For years, he's toiled away in a small
inner-city apartment, making music in his junk-filled bedroom closet. Courtney shares his home with the perfect
roommate: his best friend, biggest fan, and mother, Dina Rose, a postal carrier who gets the neighborhood gossip
by reading everybody's mail. Tired of waiting for opportunity, Courtney cooks up the publicity stunt of the century:
running for mayor of his hometown, Fort Grey, California, to generate buzz for his music career. Unfortunately for
Courtney, his master plan goes wildly awry, ending in the most terrifying of outcomes: an election victory.
With his theatrical debate performance, penchant for honesty, and innate sense of empathy, the voters see
someone who could shake up the dismal conditions of a city they all love. Or maybe they just cast a protest vote
for the most outlandish candidate in the race. Either way, Courtney decides to postpone his rap ambitions and fulfill
his accidental call of duty.
But this charismatic, reluctant warrior won't be going into battle alone. He'll be leaning on the brilliant, ruthless, and
tactical Valentina Barella (Lea Michele), who remembers Courtney as the class clown who cheated off her during
high school pre-calc. His kitchen cabinet also boasts two unconventional political aides: his questionably qualified
buddies, Jermaine, the smooth operator, and T.K., the sensitive sweetheart.
In his first big initiative, Courtney throws together a hastily organized cleanup party, which turns out to be a lot
harder than this political newbie anticipated. If Courtney wants to live up to the hopes of his friends and neighbors
and the high expectations of his mom, he'll have to overcome his hubris and check his swagger at the door,
without changing into someone the voters - and Courtney himself -don't recognize.
From Executive Producers Jeremy Bronson (Speechless, The Mindy Project, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon),

Untitled Single Dad Project
SHOW INFO
Newly single dad Josh Keeler (Rob Riggle) has moved his two daughters from Seattle to Queens, to start a new
life after his wife left their family. He hopes New York will be good for both his writing career and his kids.
Josh will do anything to make sure that his girls know that they can count on him. While he was married, he took a
backseat in the parenting department but thrust into this new role, he will need to learn how to show his girls that
they are the most important things in the world to him and create new memories. Despite his best efforts, it doesn't
quite feel like home yet for outspoken 12 year-old Harper or quirky 9 year-old Delia. They've left their friends
behind and have given up greenery and a house for a cement park and a rundown apartment. They are sleeping
on pool rafts, because Josh, in an effort to save money, ditched their beds, dressers, and couches.
Their next-door neighbor, Mrs. Kim, eavesdrops on their conversations and yells her thoughts back through their
thin walls. She's not afraid to let Josh know that she disapproves of his parenting style, his smelly cooking, and
even the way he uses the communal laundry room.
While Josh gets off on the wrong foot with Mrs. Kim, things go a bit better with guys' guy Elias, who is both their
neighbor and the building's handyman. Elias has a daughter of his own and the two will bond over both having girls.
Josh may be smart, but he is clueless about raising his daughters. Luckily, the neighbors soon realize that he is
struggling parent who needs their help. Elias will become someone that Josh can really count on while Mrs. Kim
helps him navigate the world of PTA and raising girls on the verge of puberty. Together, the building will the band
together to help make Josh into the parent he needs to be. In this rundown apartment with a partial view of
Manhattan, the Keelers will find an unlikely family.
