News Roundup: In Development

We'll fill the rest in later.

Hi, folks. NBC wants Ricky Gervais to host the Golden Globes again.  Now for the stuff that’s actually news:

• NBC has picked up a comedy project from Caprice Crane based on her first book, Stupid and Contagious. The project does not appear to be autobiographical nor using Crane as the star, so I kind of like it already.
• A&E has ordered 10 episodes of Longmire, which stars Battlestar Galactica‘s Katee Sackhoff as presumably someone other than the widowed Wyoming sheriff whom the show is based around. Stargate Universe‘s Lou Diamond Phillips is in there, too.
• Oh, and the Friday Night Lights gang — specifically, producers Peter Berg, Sarah Aubrey, and Liz Heldens — are developing a female-centered western for NBC. That one hasn’t gotten very far yet, but it had better.
