ABC has ordered 13 episodes of an untitled comedy starring John Stamos, Variety reports. The project initially was to feature a 24-type component, in which the entire first season followed Stamos' character on a first date. That idea has been shuttered and the sitcom will now be, well, ordinary.

Cool!

Sounds great! Thanks for the info! :wave:

I know that. John Stamos is coming back to TV this fall. Here's a synopsis that Pav posted on the General Sitcoms board.:)

ABC announces pick-up of John Stamos comedy for mid-season

The ABC Television Network has ordered a new mid-season comedy series starring John Stamos as a smotth-as-silk New York publicist. Stephen McPherson, president, ABC Primetime Entertainment, made the announcement today before a gathering of executives from ABC's owned and affiliated stations.

The untitled comedy joins three previously announced new drama series ("Blind Justice", "Eyes" and "Grey's Anatomy") on ABC's mid-season slate, bringing ABC's current total of new mid-season shows to four.

The series stars John Stamos as Jake Phillips, a New York-based publicist-to-the-stars. Jake is sharply dressed, smart talking, smooth as silk and on call 24/7 to meet the needs of his A-list clinentele. He's also a ladies' man, and one could apply the same description to his dedicated work in that area.

Also starring are Madchen Amick ("Twin Peaks") as Kylie Clarke, Rick Hoffman ("Philly") as Patrick, Bess Meyer as Val and Ian Gomez ("My Big Fat Greek Wedding", "The Drew Carey Show") as Adrian.

The series is executive-produced by Brad Grey ("The Sopranos", "The Larry Sanders Show") and Peter Traugott. Tim Doyle ("Roseanne", "Andy Richter Controls the Universe") served as executive producer on the pilot. Austin Winsberg ("Still Standing") is co-executive producer and writer of the series from Brad Grey Television Productions in association with 20th Century-Fox Television.

Cool!!! It's funny to see both John and Lori starring on their own sitcoms simultaneously!! :eek:

The synopsis of John's show sounds a lot like a male version of Christina Applegate's 1998 sitcom "Jesse!" :D

John's show actually won't debut until midseason---January or later. It's great news though! We'll just have to wait longer to see it! :)

I think Lori's show is just slated for the summer as of now.
