EXCLUSIVE: In its first drama sale this season, Bruckheimer TV has landed a put pilot commitment from CBS for an FBI drama written by Aron Eli Coleite. Titled The Bureau, the project is described as a character drama set at the NY field office of the FBI. It reunites the auspices behind last season’s drama pilot Trooper: writer Coleite, Bruckheimer TV, CBS and Warner Bros TV. While it didn’t make the cut at CBS in May, Trooper was just ordered to pilot by TNT. The Bureau is being executive produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, Coleite and Jonathan Littman, with KristieAnne Reed co-executive producing.
Bruckheimer TV got a head start this development season with an early pilot order by NBC for drama The Secret Lives Of Husbands And Wives, which is casting. The company also has sold two comedies, a docu-style military comedy At Ease, which got a put pilot commitment at NBC, as well as The B-Side, from writer Sheri Elwood, also at NBC. On Sunday, Bruckheimer TV’s The Amazing Race extended its Emmy dominance, landing its ninth win for best reality competition series out of 10 years the category has been awarded. Coleite and Bruckheier TV are with CAA.

Um, hasn’t this already been done by Bruckheimer? I think it was called ‘Without A Trace’.
This dudes on fire.
way to think outside of the box CBS you seriously need to go outside your comfort zone and make a drama other then a cop show or a sitcom cause those are the 2 type of shows you make sitcoms and procedural dramas try something new take a risk something that is a new cause just cop shows/procedurals and sitcoms is becoming very unoriginal is it to much to ask for an original idea from CBS
hello — cbs picking all of these bs pilots from WB, 20th, Sony, and none of them will amount shit. Bad ideas are bad ideas. Cbs studios will prevail.
Old people don’t want original, they want safe.
Trooper was a pooper…
