[/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Toeing the corporate synergy line, ABC has greenlighted three drama pilots and one comedy pilot from sister studio Touchstone TV. Sitcom Our Thirties, from writer Dave Walpert (ABC's Crumbs), is set in San Francisco and revolves around a group of friends in their 30s. Walpert will exec produce along with Warren Littlefield.
Drama Sixty-Minute Man centers on a suburbanite who can't remember what he does for one hour each day, leading him to believe he's part of a major conspiracy. The series is from Boomtown's Graham Yost, Chris Brancato and Bert Salke, with Brancato and Yost writing.
Ken Olin, veteran of the late-’80s ABC hit thirtysomething, will exec produce and direct the family drama Brothers and Sisters, with Jon Robin Baitz (The West Wing) writing. Meanwhile, action drama Day Break is about a cop trying to stop a murder.
Last week, ABC greenlighted two drama pilots and one comedy pilot, all from Touchstone TV as well. The comedy, starring Bonnie Hunt as a newly divorced woman working as a detective, is from Hunt and writing partner Don Lake. The drama Drift, about a detective with insomnia, is from exec producers Chris Brancato, Bert Salke, Paul Anderson and John Glenn, with Glenn writing. The murder mystery Secrets of a Small Town also is from Brancato and Salke, with Chuck Pratt writing. [/FONT]
