Jim Gaffigan’s pilot that was in contention for awhile at CBS has now officially moved to a ten episode order at TV Land for next year and gotten a title, The Gaffigan Show. The show, much like his stand-up, will draw from his experiences of being a husband and father of five.

Reruns of The Gaffigan Show will air on Comedy Central a week after their air on TV Land. This has us curious if CBS and NBC will end up regretting letting go of The Gaffigan Show and Mulaney respectively.

With the announcements of which pilots have been picked up for the next year well behind us, there is still hope for a handful of projects at other networks.

Jim Gaffigan’s pilot might have a chance a TV Land after going through a few rounds at CBS while Jerrod Carmichael is getting another shot at NBC. Also, Rob Lowe and Rob Riggle’s tennis comedy pilot The Pro and legal comedy Sober Companion starring Nick Frost and Justin Long are still being considered at Fox.

We’re glad to hear that all these projects are still in play and will keep our fingers crossed as long as we can in hopes that they get picked up.

Ian Roberts & Jay Martel To Be Showrunners on TV Land Comedy Pilot ‘Teachers’

Ian Roberts, who you should know as one of the UCB 4, along with Jay Martel are producers on Key & Peele that will be headed over to TV Land to work on a comedy pilot entitled ‘Teachers’ produced by Alison Brie.

Hopefully, as the project is set in a school, we wonder if Key & Peele would mispronounce white kids’ names while taking roll in some sort of a cameo.

Alison Brie has already captured our collective attention as Annie Edison on Community and Trudy Campbell on Mad Men, but she is on her way to having a banner year with three projects she’s set in motion.

So far, she’s going to co-star with Adam Scott in Sleeping With Other People, joining the cast of Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart’s Get Hard, and also producing her own comedy pilot Teachers at TV Land.

This is only 3 months in to 2014, so who knows how much higher she’ll go.
