In the Works: Donal Logue Tries to Hackett, and More

Donal Logue by Bob D'Amico/ABC

Fresh off The Knights of Prosperity's repeated mistreatment (and an unexpected turn on Damages), Donal Logue has been tapped to play a bad-boy literary type in the Fox comedy pilot Hackett. Rachel Boston (American Dreams) and Morgan Murphy (Jimmy Kimmel Live) also star, and Barry Sonnenfeld will direct.... Also per the Reporter, writer-producer David Hemingson (Just Shoot Me, Kitchen Confidential) has landed a pilot commitment at ABC for a dramedy about associates at a law firm.... Fox has greenlit the medical sitcom This Might Hurt, set at a medical practice.

Fresh off The Knights of Prosperity's repeated mistreatment [...] Donal Logue has been tapped to play a bad-boy literary type in the Fox comedy pilot Hackett.

Uh, Matt -- exactly when was the craptacular Knights of Prosperity mistreated? I mean, 70's design aesthetics and other quasi-Tarantinoesque satire only works when it's actually funny. Knights was found by the audience at large to be as horrible as such losers Homeboys From Outer Space, Desmond Pfeiffer and Small Wonder.

Now, Grounded For Life, *that* was a badly mistreated sitcom starring Donal Logue (and Megyn Price).

BTW, keep all that in mind when the disastrously over-hyped Chuck flops. The Comic-Con crowd (including me) was underwhelmed by the pilot but didn't want to break it to anybody on the panel because, well, Zach Levi's just-happy-to-be-here vibe was just keen and we weren't about to bust him or the hot blonde chick for the suckitude of the show in person.
