Fox has given a script plus presentation order to Lyle & Caroline, a half-hour animated comedy executive produced by Friends alumna Lisa Kudrow who also will provide voiceover. The project hails from Lionsgate and the company’s 3 Arts Entertainment.
Written/executive produced by Eric and Justin Stangel (Late Show with David Letterman), Lyle & Caroline is a family show driven by the friendship of Lyle & Caroline – a surrogate grandparent/grandchild bond forms in an unexpected way.
Kudrow will be voicing Caroline, the high school-aged grandchild. 3 Arts’ David Miner also executive produces.
Lyle & Caroline is part of Fox’s push into animation under entertainment president Michael Thorn. As part of that, the network this fall ordered two new animated series for next season, Bless the Harts, from Emily Spivey, Phil Lord, Christopher Miller and Seth Cohen, which stars Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Jillian Bell and Ike Barinholtz; and Amy Poehler’s Duncanville.

Damon Lindelof does not doubt the intelligence of his audience. His primary methodology for creation is collaboration. He believes in non-linear storytelling and the brains it takes to keep up. The 38-year-old writer expects questions from fans and often finds salvation in the unanswered ones, or so he explained to a full house Thursday night at the 92Y Tribeca.

So another year has passed and its time for another round of awards for the people who make the television shows we like to watch.
Television is interesting these days. Never before have we seen such great, creative output. Never before have we been subjected to such drivel. It all gets paraded before us tonight, as we watch the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards (handed out, it should be noted, by the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences) on CBS, CTV in Canada.

Interesting that the Emmys chose to introduce the 2009 edition of the Primetime awards by harkening back to the early days of television. Especially as the business of television has never been closer to a complete collapse. Oh, announcer who is trying so hard to sound like a TV host from the '50s. You don't sound at all like you're a three pack-a-day smoker.
8:01
Okay, here comes Neil Patrick Harris,...
