As all TV networks prepare for upfront announcements this week, news bits on a few folks we know are popping up today:
Fox will announce that FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHT's Peter Berg has signed on to direct and co-produce the pilot for VIRTUALITY, written by Ron Moore and Michael Taylor. On Thursday we will know for sure whether Joss Whedon's DOLLHOUSE, co-starring Tahmoh Penikett, will debut mid season or this fall.
David Eick may be taking over as showrunner on NBC's THE PHILANTHROPIST, set to premiere mid season.

I guess we'll know for sure about Dollhouse on Thursday, but it's pretty much been announced by everyone else that it's picked up :)
Woo!
The pilot script for Dollhouse is absolutely amazing. FOX would be so dumb not to pick it up!
@daphne, Fox already made a 7-ep order for DOLLHOUSE before they even started shooting. Yay!
ABC officially picked up Life on Mars, which is a remake of the BBC drama and includes Stephanie Chaves-Jacobsen (Kendra Shaw in Razor). They gave it the post-Grey's time slot, which could be great for that show and for Stephanie.
Margie, nice find! Thanks for posting that here. :)
