A Day in the Life
Summary:
Network: ABC
Release: Fall 2006
This single-camera comedy is about a wedding that is planned in a single day. The season will be broken into 24 episodes each following one hour of this hectic day for Danny and Alice.
Cast and Crew:
Marla Sokoloff, Josh Cooke, Kurt Fuller, Miriam Shor, and Wendie Malick. Sokoloff will play the bride, "Alice" and Cooke will play the groom "Danny". Malick will play "Shelley". Sokoloff as well as Malick were both cast in the WB pilot "Modern Men" which was cancelled recently. Sokoloff had a recurring role on "The Practice" as well. Josh Cooke was "Ben" on the recently cancelled "Four Kings" for NBC.
Cathy Yuspa, Josh Goldsmith, and Michael Spiller are behind this pilot. Yuspa and Goldsmith were the minds behind the successful comedy "The King of Queens" and Spiller was the director of HBO's new series "Big Love".
Our Take:
The executive producers look promising and certainly know how to put together a comedy, and the cast doesn't seem bad. A comedy like this works better if it doesn't have a big name. The concept of this show is kinda fun and we think given solid writing there could be serious potential here for a hit. Obvioiusly the show will skew toward the 18-35 female demographic. As long as it hits there in pilot testing this show could get the green light.
