Fox has bought Ben Fox is My Manny, a single-camera comedy project from feature writer Dana Fox (Couples Retreat, What Happens in Vegas). The project, produced by Chernin Entertainment and 20th Century Fox TV, has received a script commitment with significant penalty attached. It centers on a single mom whose aimless brother moves in to help her raise her baby. Like the title suggests, the male lead is an exaggerated version of Fox’s real-life brother, whose name is Ben Fox. Dana Fox, repped by WME and Anonymous Content, is writing the script and executive producing with Peter Chernin and Katherine Pope.

with that track record, how could it not be hilarious?
wait…isn’t there another sibling comedy with a similar “my brother is my manny” angle in the works?
someone I work with pointed out… isn’t this Melissa & Joey.
I guess no one at Fox has ever seen it. Then again why would they be any different than the rest of the country.
That title sucks. Too clever by half.
