Well guys here goes. CC got the pilot for "Play Nice" the lead. It airs on UPN. She starts filming April 22nd. Her co star is a guy names Tyler LeBean. I've never heard of him and niether had she but I guess he has done some good work. Anyway she is very happy with the people that she will be doing business with. Warner Little and Adam Chase are very connected with this project.Mr. Little was with NBC for 10 years and was responsible for many of the great shows as well as late night TV. And I understand that Adam Chase was a writer for Freinds for about six year. So there should be some good stuff here. The gist of it is.....She is a strong, ambitious pushing to make partner in a law firm. Sharing her apartment with a younger very sloppy brother who she adores and five dogs. She does a lot of volunteer work where animal are concerned etc etc..........So I don't think that everything will be taking place in the office or the home. Sounds like they have a little room to expand the storylines. Remember this is just t he pilot. So we all have to be sure and watch so that it will get a good rating. So pass this on along to the other boards.......Let here a Hell Yeah................

Late UPN OK for Secunda pilot
UPN has given a last-minute pilot presentation order to an untitled comedy from former "Late Night With Conan O'Brien" writer Andrew Secunda. Charisma Carpenter and Tyler Labine topline the project, from Paramount Network TV, the Littlefield Co. and Nervous Properties. The show, written by Secunda, centers on an uptight, career-minded woman (Carpenter) and her fun-loving brother (Labine). Adam Chase and Warren Littlefield are exec producing, with Secunda serving as co-exec producer. Veteran helmer James Widdoes is on board to direct.

UPN OKs pilot at last minute
Net's sibling laffer radiates Charisma
UPN has greenlit an 11th-hour comedy pilot inspired by the lives of former "Conan O'Brien" scribe Andrew Secunda and his sister, UTA agent Ruthanne Secunda.
Cast-contingent pilot finally got the go-ahead last week after Charisma Carpenter ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer") signed on to play Sarah, the role inspired by Ruthanne, while Tyler Labine ("My Boss's Daughter") was tapped as Alex, the character based on Andrew.
Paramount Network TV, the Littlefield Co. and Nervous Properties are behind the untitled Andrew Secunda project; Warren Littlefield and Adam Chase ("Friends") will exec produce, while Secunda will co-exec produce.
The pilot presentation's official logline describes the show as a "comedy about an uptight, career-minded woman and her fun-loving brother."
Idea for the laffer took root last fall, when Andrew came to Los Angeles for the Emmy Awards and crashed at Ruthanne's place. It was supposed to be a quick visit -- until Ruthanne fell down and broke her ribs.
Andrew wound up staying with Ruthanne for months, helping her out as she regained her health.
The catch: Ruthanne actively works with animal adoption, serving on the board of directors as exec VP of the Much Love Animal Rescue foundation. With Ruthanne temporarily incapacitated, Andrew had to step in.
"He had to stay with me and take care of my animals," Ruthanne said. "He got sucked into it all. The two of us eventually drove each other crazy. And in a role reversal, he became the caretaker in our relationship."
Andrew had been working on a sitcom pitch about a boyfriend and girlfriend; he and Ruthanne quickly realized that concept should be revised to reflect their own quirky sibling relationship.
"Lo and behold, the reality of it was playing out in front of us," she said. "So we pitched it together."
Project is only loosely based on the pair: Carpenter's character is a corporate attorney, rather than an agent, for example.
The Secundas originally set the project up at Universal, which later passed; UPN then quickly got Viacom sibling Paramount on board.
Carpenter's other credits include "Angel" and the telepic "See Jane Date," while Labine also appeared in the series "That Was Then."
