The world of Hollywood is buzzing this time of year with February sweeps and TV Pilots being ‘green-lit’.

Of course, The Hollywood Reporter is all over the scene and here are some headlines for you!

Matthew Broderick (Ferris Bueller) is coming to TV in a show called “Beach Lane“. He’ll play a celebrity author hired to save a local newspaper in the Hamptons.

“ABC has added another single-camera comedy to its pilot roster. On Monday, the network picked up “It Takes a Village,” a new age nuclear family comedy from ABC Studios and producer Mark Gordon. Written by Casey Johnson and David Windsor (“Greek”), “Village” centers on two exes and their new significant others as they join forces to raise their 15-year-old boy.”

And from TVGuide, this little tidbit of some former child stars!
“Former teen stars Melissa Joan Hart and Joey Lawrence are returning to the small screen in a new ABC Family sitcom.

The aptly titled Melissa & Joey will star the Sabrina the Teenage Witch actress as a politician who hires a manny (Lawrence) to care for her niece and nephew when her sister winds up in jail. The half-hour sitcom was developed with the actors in mind after their ABC Family original movie, My Fake Fiance, shattered ratings records for the network last year.”
