Eliza Dushku and Ricki Lake Pilots Still May Fly
Just as
ABC extended its option on Football Wives, a few other initially passed-on fall pilots might see the airwaves after all. Per the
Hollywood Reporter, ABC is also keeping a short leash on the comedies
The Middle (
Ricki Lake as blue-collar mom) and
The Hill (set in D.C. and starring
Michelle Trachtenberg and
Wendie Malick).
Fox, meanwhile, still may come calling for
Nurses (a dramedy fronted by
Eliza Dushku and Sara Rue) and/or
The Cure (starring
Oded Fehr and
Anson Mount).
