UPFRONTS 2013: The Overachievers 
UPDATE: Both pilots have now been officially picked up.
PREVIOUS: Fox has greenlighted one more comedy pilot, with another expected to join it shortly. Both are from Sony TV.
The project that has been officially picked up is Iceland, a singe-camera comedy from writer-executive producer Andy Bobrow about a deceased fiance.
The project whose pickup is still being worked out is Tagged, from writers-executive producers David Guarascio and Moses Port. The hybrid comedy, which Sony TV is co-producing with Reveille, is a workplace ensemble comedy set at the Los Angeles County’s coroner’s office that is loosely based on Shiya Robowsky’s life. Also executive producing the project are Carolyn Bernstein, Howard Owens, Todd Cohen.
TV Editor Nellie Andreeva - tip her here.

I can’t wait to not watch either of these!
Andy Bobrow is a fantastic, fresh writer, and I’m super excited to see what he does.
Andy Bobrow is a hilarious writer and I would watch anything he created. Hurrah!
Nice to see Andy get a shot. Fantastic writer.
Ensemble comedy set at a coroner’s office sounds exactly like the kind of comedy that will bury fox’s live action half hour slate 6 feet deeper.
fox sux.
Moses Port is a good writer and an experienced professional. Wishing him luck.
Plus he’s an excellent basketball player.
I for one am happy for Todd Cohen at Reveille. He’s a standup guy and a sharp exec, rare traits indeed.
(And no, I’m not him)
Stay on your grind, Bobrow!
Bobrow has earned his stripes and Iceland is that rare comedy script: hilarious, touching, outrageous, kind. Like its author.
The only person in this town more stupid than Todd Cohen is Howard Owens. Sounds like a winner.
