The multi-camera project, from Warner Bros. TV and studio-based Berlanti Prods., centers on Nick who has a health scare and realizes that Wendy (Garcia Swisher), his best friend and business partner of 15 years, is ‘the one’. Now he has to figure out how to break it to her.

Malins and Berlanti wrote the script and executive produce.

This marks the third consecutive WBTV pilot for Garcia Swisher following Privileged and Better With You, both of which went to series. She also did an arc on the studio’s CW drama Gossip Girl. It also marks the latest multi-camera comedy for Garcia who started off on the WB’s Reba.

Earlier this season, Garcia was attached to a Warner Bros. TV multi-camera comedy project written by Better With You creator/exec producer Shana Goldberg-Meehan. The family comedy sparked a bidding war before landing at ABC with a production commitment but ultimately didn’t go to pilot, making WME-repped Garcia Swisher available. She immediately received multiple offers, choosing the Malins/Berlanti pilot.

The multi-camera project, about a woman (Garcia) who moves in with her husband’s family, has received a pilot production commitment. The pitch hit the marketplace yesterday and sparked a bidding war after landing offers from ABC, NBC and CBS. Warner Bros TV, where Goldberg-Meehan has been based since her days on Friends, is producing.

Goldberg-Meehan most recently created and executive produced the multi-camera ABC comedy series Better With You, starring Garcia and Jennifer Finnigan, which ran for one season.

This marks the fourth consecutive series project at Warner Bros TV for Garcia following Privileged, Better With You and Gossip Girl, on which she did an arc. Goldberg-Meehan and Garcia are with WME.

The project, about a woman (Garcia) who moves back in with her husband’s family, was formally pitched to the networks today, landing offers right away, but there had been buzz about it for the past couple of weeks. Warner Bros. TV, where Goldberg-Meehan has been based since her days on Friends, is producing.

Goldberg-Meehan has history at both ABC and NBC. Her family comedy Better With You starring Garcia and Jennifer Finnigan had a seasonlong run on ABC where Goldberg-Meehan also has done a couple of pilots. And at NBC, she spent 7 seasons on Friends, rising to executive producer/co-showrunner, and co-created spinoff Joey.

The strong interest in the project underscores the huge popularity of the comedy genre this development season, which has led to bidding wars over several half-hour pitches.

2morrow I have the honor of starting my work on @RoyalPains_USA! I’m a huge fan of show & xcited they asked me 2 hang out w them for a bit!

Jo shared a few key findings from the Let’s Go There survey of 2,000 women in their 20s and 30s that shed a little light on what makes us modern gals tick. Find out what they are below.

We go after what we want: 69 percent of women surveyed feel comfortable “making the first move” with her significant other or potential partner she’s interested in.

We won’t settle: 78 percent of women say they would seek out new employment or a new position if they felt unsatisfied with their job.

This is true of relationships, too: Almost nine in 10 (87 percent) unmarried women say they would end a relationship if they felt unsatisfied with someone they were dating.

We say what’s on our minds: 87 percent of women feel comfortable expressing their opinion.

And yet, we may not be taking the same initiative when it comes to an important health decision: seven out of 10 women using hormonal birth control would change something about their current method, and many aren’t evaluating whether what they’re using is a fit for their lifestyle. So as independent and in-control women, what’s stopping us from taking the same proactive approach to our birth control? Are we asking the questions we should be asking?

Does it fit our lifestyle? Are we really satisfied? Do we even know what’s out there?

Jo encourages us to talk to our health-care provider about the options. So why wait? Visit Facebook.com/letsgothere to see how JoAnna balances her career, relationships, and everyday life, and to learn how you can “go there” in all aspects of your life, too.

And you thought Nate Archibald was privileged before.

Sources confirm that Joanna Garcia, star of The CW’s axed-too-soon Privileged, has booked a four-episode arc on Gossip Girl as a love interest for Chace Crawford’s affluent alter ego.

Garcia will play Bree Buckley, an irreverent, slightly evil Miss America-type who hails from a conservative Southern family. She’ll first appear in the Sept. 14 season premiere.

Props to The CW for knowing a good thing when they see it!

With “Privileged” sitting on the bubble for renewal, star Joanna Garcia isn’t leaving her small-screen future entirely in The CW’s hands.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Garcia will take guest roles in NBC’s untitled Justin Adler comedy project and in FOX’s “Cop House.” The trade paper says that both pilot roles were originally written as regulars.

The Adler comedy focuses on adult siblings and their domineering mother. Garcia will play the shy wife of the middle sibling (“Smallville” veteran Michael Rosenbaum). Also new to the cast are Jill Clayburgh and Henry Winkler as the main characters’ mother and father.

In “Cop House,” the Brett Ratner-directed comedy about a halfway house for cops, Garcia will play the title residence’s psychologist.

Both comedies would obviously be in second position for Garcia’s services behind “Privileged,” which drew a passionate (but tiny) audience on The CW. The trade paper gives no indication of which pilot would get first dibs on Garcia if they were both picked up.

Other TV credits for Garcia include “Welcome to the Captain” and “Reba.”
