NBC PICKS UP CONAN-PRODUCED PILOT
01.27.10
Business Dog got a call-back for the lead role
NBC has ordered a pilot from Conan O’Brien’s production company, Conaco. The script for the one-hour legal drama, according to The Hollywood Reporter, is “one of the most buzzed about at NBC in the past couple of weeks.”
The untitled O’Brien project, known as “Justice,” was written by John Eisendrath. Described as a new take on a law show with a larger-than-life character at the center, it follows an ex-Supreme Court justice who quits the Court to start his own legal practice. [THR]
Hmmm… so a guy quits his high-profile dream job to pursue something more fulfilling, eh? It sounds perfect for NBC. Maybe they should put it at 10 p.m. There’s room on the schedule there, right?

There were so many people talking about NBC on Twitter that it was one of the top trending topics for a while – check out the video at http://www.joshrimer.com/nbc-sheprobablyhoe-world-cup/ to see some of the more entertaining ones in a funny video. :-)
Any bets on if that character is Shatner?
Shouldn’t his company be called “CocoCo?”
The show is one of the most buzzed about in the last few weeks? NBC knows they have a whole year to decide what to put on, right?
People say “abortion” like it’s a bad thing. Abortions can be good! Like the abortion Jay Leno’s mother should have gotten.
“Business Dog got a call-back for the lead role”
Business Dog had a solid resume and a good reel, but Party Dog got the part because he’s much better in the room.
Also co-starring District Attorney Richie “La Bamba” Rosenberg.
This will just be replaced by Leno’s new Law & Order idea.
I was just thinking that there wasn’t enough legal dramas on TV…. sounds like another winner for NBC. Then again if Leno’s 10pm abortion is the measuring stick I’m sure it will be fine.
a larger-than-life character = The Masturbating Bear
