Good Christian Bitches
\n<\/em>Set in Dallas, it’s about a former high school “mean girl” who returns to town after her marriage ends amidst a scandal.

Hallelujah
\n<\/em>In a small small Tennessee named Hallelujah, a stranger arrives who may restore desperately- needed faith to its citizens. Episodes reportedly will include songs sung performed bya a gospel choir which will serve as a sort of Greek chorus. <\/em>A faith-themed Glee<\/em>? We shall see.

Once Upon a Time
\n<\/em>A woman is drawn to a town where magic and fairy tales appear to be real.<\/p>\n

Partners<\/em>
\nTwo cops are partners and secretly sisters.<\/p>\n

Poe
\n<\/em>Mystery writer Edgar Allen Poe solves crimes in 1840’s Boston.<\/p>\n

Revenge<\/em>
\nA woman plots elaborate vengeance against those who done her wrong in the Hamptons.<\/p>\n

The River
\n<\/em>A team searches for an adventurer who disappeared deep in the Amazon. Shot cin\u00e9ma v\u00e9rit\u00e9 <\/em> style\u00a0 (ala Paranormal Activity<\/em><\/a>). <\/em><\/p>\n

Comedies
\n<\/strong>Apartment 23 <\/em>(Single-cam)
\n<\/em>A naive mid-western girl moves to the big city where she ends up with a nightmare of a roommate.<\/p>\n

Bad Mom<\/em> (Single-cam)
\nA woman tries to raise her kids as well as her fantastic mother raised her — but it’s not easy to measure up.<\/p>\n

Tim Allen Project<\/em> (Multi-cam)
\nUntitled sitcom featuring the former Home Improvement <\/em>star as a traditional male trying to get along in a world where women are increasingly in control.<\/p>\n

Lost and Found <\/em>(Multi-cam)
\nA New York bartender is unexpectedly reunited with the 18-year-old (conservative) son she gave up for adoption.<\/p>\n

Man Up <\/em>(Single-cam)
\nThree best friends try to get along with the women in their lives.<\/p>\n

Smothered<\/em> (Multi-cam)
\nA young couple find themselves smothered by each other’s families.<\/p>\n

Suburgatory<\/em> (Single-cam)
\nA New York City girl moves to the suburbs.<\/p>\n

Work It<\/em> (Multi-cam)
\nTwo unemployed car salesmen dress as women to get jobs as pharmaceutical reps. Why? Who knows?<\/p>\n

Encourage one another and build each other up \u2013 <\/em>1 Thessalonians 5:11<\/p>\n
