'JOEY' PILOT PLAYS WELLMonday, May 17, 2004 By Michele Gershberg and Steve Gorman Article from Yahoo! News. An advance screening of the entire "Joey" pilot, rare for upfront presentations, seemed to play well among advertisers and media buyers in attendance, drawing plenty of laughs. The second new comedy set for an August launch is "Father of the Pride," NBC's first animated show on prime time since the short-lived 2000 series "God, the Devil and Bob." "Pride" will fill the Tuesday night slot held by "Frasier," which ended its 11-year run last week. NBC also has locked in its Tuesday night comedy "Scrubs" for more two more seasons. Two freshman Tuesday comedies failed to be renewed -- the Whoopi Goldberg comedy "Whoopi" and "Happy Family." NBC's mid-season offerings include the fourth installment in the long-running cop and courtroom franchise, "Law & Order: Trial by Jury," from producer Dick Wolf, who just renewed his NBC contract for the first three "Law & Order" series. In one big change for the franchise, Jerry Orbach, who has played detective Lennie Briscoe for 12 years on the original series, is moving to the cast of "Trial by Jury." On the drama front this fall, NBC plans to launch the airport ensemble series "LAX," starring Heather Locklear, the cop show "Hawaii" and "Medical Investigation." The new limited-run thriller "Revelations" will join "Law & Order: Trial by Jury" on the midseason schedule, along with "Medium," starring Patricia Arquette as a woman who sees dead people.
