Fox Comedy Pilot 'Council Of Dads' with Diane Farr

[WyldeMan45]

Yowza, that is one hot momma anyways, I am very surprised by the amount of FOX pilots for the Fall that I am very interested in. If they pick them all up, they could have a very solid 2 hour night of comedy if they pair them up with Raising Hope. However with that stupid British bullshit that is The X-Factor it is obviously not going to happen. So it looks like I am going to have a very disappointed pilot season yet again....

The Job and Rescue Me alumna Diane Farr is reuniting with the two series' co-creator Peter Tolan. She is set as the female lead in Fox's comedy pilot for Fox Council of Dads. Also set as leads in the project are Patrick Breen and SAG president Ken Howard. Inspired by Bruce Feiler's non-fiction book, the pilot, which is being directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, tells the story of Michael who, just before he dies, enlists five of his guy friends from all aspects of his life to become a “council of dads” to his two young children. Farr will play Michael's wife, recent widow Catherine, who is absolutely intent on complying with her husband's dying wish but quickly finds out that the five guys on the Council can agree about absolutely nothing. Breen and Howard will play two of the Council's members. Howard plays Michael's dad Burt, ex-military guy who's not to be screwed with. Breen plays Jerry, Michael's ex-therapist who serves as the "Feelings Dad" on the council. Howard, repped by Greene & Assoc. and James/Levy, won an Emmy for Grey Gardens in 2009. He recurs on 30 Rock and is filming Clint Eastwood's Hoover. Breen, repped by Gersh and A Management, had also been pursued for NBC's Smash this season. Farr's other series credits include Numbers and Californication.
