Highly-praised writer J.J. Abrams (Lost, Fringe, Alias, Felicity, What About Brian?) will produce a half-hour comedy for the FOX Network.
The project, written by Mike Markowitz (It’s All Relative, Becker), is described as “a comedic medical show.”
And that’s not Scrubs, ok!
The untitled project will have to compete with others in the genre: Grey’s Anatomy, House, Private Practice, Trauma, Miami Trauma, Mercy, Three Rivers and Hawthorne.
And then there’s Nurse Jackie, raising the bar…

JJ also has made an action-adventure series “Wednesday night” scrips. which apparently had quite the bidding war between the networks and is going to NBC.

this also comes with news that NBC’s ‘day one’ has been cut down to just 4x1hr miniseries.
Will it ever get to the punch line?
I hope all the doctors were spies looking for a Rembrandi artifact inside one of the patient’s body!
God medical…. how original.
I hope it’s got an Island which moves around in time and space!!
