Two roles on CBS‘ new comedy series The Millers will be recast. I’ve learned that Michael Rapaport and Mary Elizabeth Ellis are leaving Greg Garcia’s multi-camera show starring Will Arnett as Nathan Miller, a recently divorced local roving news reporter looking forward to living the singles’ life until his parents’ marital problems unexpectedly derail his plans. After Nathan finally breaks the news of his divorce to his parents, Carol (Margo Martindale) and Tom (Beau Bridges), his father is inspired to follow suit and stuns the family when he leaves his wife of 43 years. Carol moves in with Will, while Tom moves in with Will’s sister Debbie and her husband — roles that were played in the James Burrows-directed pilot by Ellis and Rapaport and will now be recast. CBS TV Studios is producing. Interestingly, all recastings on new shows so far this year have been on comedy series,...

Fox is going back to the past in its new comedy "Surviving Jack" -- all the way back to the early 1990s.
The coming-of-age story centering on the relationship between a teenage boy (Connor Buckley) and his aloof dad (former "Law & Order: Svu" star Christopher Meloni), the Jack of the title, is set in 1991. (It's based on a book by series co-creator Justin Halpern, who was in fact a teenager in the '90s.)
Aside from a Marky Mark song and a few jokes at the expense of a Hypercolor shirt, though, the show focuses more on the core relationship than on the setting. The show's trailer has a low-key vibe that's pretty much the opposite of the last show based on something Halpern wrote, "$#*! My Dad Says." Meloni has a very good deadpan, and Buckley conveys the frustrations of high school pretty well.
"Surviving Jack" also stars "Hart of Dixie...

Fox has officially picked up five new comedies for its 2013-2014 season -- among them, an offering from "Family Guy" boss Seth MacFarlane and star vehicles for TV favorites Jason Ritter and Chris Meloni. The network only picked up three comedies last year.
First off, some sad news for "Parenthood" fans but great news for Jason Ritter -- he's finally found a strong pilot to lead in "Us and Them," previously known as "Friends and Family." Based on the British series "Gavin and Stacey," "Us and Them" pairs Ritter with Alexis Bledel in a long-distance rom-com.
"Law & Order: Svu" star Chris Meloni is taking a comedic turn with "Surviving Jack," based on Justin Halpern's book "I Suck at Girls." Set in the '90s, the series comes from the team behind "S#*! My Dad Says" and also stars Alex Kapp Horner, Connor Buckley, Claudia Lee, Kevin Hernandez, and Tyler Foden.

In 2009, both Southland and Medium were cancelled by NBC but were then saved by other networks. Three long-running shows were recently cancelled last month and it looked like each had a good shot of being saved as well.
A couple weeks later, Law & Order and Ghost Whisperer have been denied a second chance and now, The New Adventures of Old Christine has as well.
The New Adventures of Old Christine follows a neurotic single mom (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) who has a hard time juggling a relationship with responsibilities at home and work. Others in the cast include Hamish Linklater, Wanda Sykes, Trevor Gagnon, Clark Gregg, Emily Rutherfurd, Tricia O'Kelley, and Alex Kapp Horner.
The sitcom has been a moderate performer for CBS from the beginning and has ended up on the bubble each year. For the past two years,...
