NBC Passes On Legally Mad, Lost And Found

David E. Kelley’s legal drama Legally Mad is not going forward at NBC. After keeping the pilot in contention for midseason, the network has decided to pass, triggering a seven-figure penalty to the Warner Brothers TV-produced drama. There are no immediate plans for the project to be shopped elsewhere.

Also not expected to make it on NBC is the Dick Wolf-produced Lost & Found. There has been talk about shopping the quirky crime procedural starring Katee Sackhoff to cable network USA. The network already has a relationship with Wolf through his Law & Order: Criminal Intent, which moved to USA from NBC. USA also has a law enforcement drama with a strong female lead in In Plain Sight.

NBC’s third pilot left standing after its infront last week, the comedy Off Duty, likely will be redeveloped. V and Limelight screened to mixed reviews Monday at ABC. Of the two, V remains in the mix after scoring well with its alien characters. With screenings at the network wrapping up, all pilots except the comedies No Heroics and The Bridget Show got some traction, with the dramas Happy Town, The Unknown and Cougar Town as front-runners.
