'Earl,' 'Home' pilots licensed
Two comedy projects have received cast-contingent pilot orders at NBC and Fox. NBC has given a thumbs up to My Name Is Earl, while Fox's is betting on The War at Home. Earl, from 20th Century Fox TV and Yes, Dear co-creator/executive producer Greg Garcia, centers on a low-rent crook who, after winning the lottery, decides to use his limited yet oddly effective intelligence to right the wrongs he has made in his life. CAA-repped Garcia wrote the pilot and is executive producing. War at Home, from Warner Bros. TV and studio-based Acme Prods., revolves around hypocritical parents who struggle to maintain dominance over their kids. Rob Lotterstein, who penned the script, is exec producing with Acme's Mindy Schultheis and Michael Hanel. Lotterstein most recently co-created and exec produced with Schultheis and Hanel the WB Network comedy project Sixteen to Life. He is repped by BWCS.
