Bernie Mac Is Back, and Other New Shows

Bernie Mac by Carin Baer/Fox
" Following a fierce bidding war,
Starting Under - a comedy from
Drew Carey Show creator Bruce Helford and starring
Bernie Mac as an opinionated divorcé who lives with (and works for!) his introverted twentysomething son - became the last major pilot to get rubber-stamped, by Fox, before the strike struck,
Variety reports. But... what about "Ocean's Eighteen"?!
" A&E has shot a pilot for Celebrity called
Garage Sale (yes, it's come to this), in which indie actress
Illeana Douglas helps her celeb pals unload unwanted junk.
"
Freaks and Geeks cocreator
Paul Feig will direct the pilot for NBC's
Kath & Kim, starring Molly Shannon.
