Networks are scrambling to nab a series that Michael J. Fox is shopping around, one based on his own life. He's teamed up with Easy A director Will Gluck and an Arrested Development writer, so that's a solid creative group, and everybody wants it. Basically Fox can decide who makes the best offer and go with them. Nice position to be in! And nice to see Michael J. Fox seriously back in the mix after many years just doing guest spots here and there. We'd kinda hope that the show would end up on cable, just because he'd be a little freer to do more and the ratings stakes would be a little lower and all that, but network money is probably better. Whatever happens, we're glad to hear it might happen at all. Welcome back, Alex P.! [Vulture]
In other exciting TV news, television's own Xena, warrior princess, Lucy Lawless will be guest starring on Parks & Recreation for two episodes this season, playing a hot mom who hits it off with Ron Swanson. No, she will not be a Tammy. She's just some other lady. Maybe there will be a joke where they find out her name is Tammy or something, but probably not. But that's great! Lucy Lawless is lots of fun and it's nice when she gets work, especially work that's good like this. This ain't no Tarzan or Eurotrip. This is good stuff here. So: Ayiyiyiyiyi!! Or whatever that Xena battle cry was. [The Hollywood Reporter]
