· After Fox greenlighted five pilots to series yesterday afternoon, the network snuffed out six others, including Ben Stiller's CIA comedy The Station. Stiller announced the death last night via Twitter: "I like to produce a failed pilot for Fox about once every ten years. Latest was the Station. Written directed and acted by a great group." The other casualties include, Tax Man, which starred Martin Short, Judy Greer and David Krumholtz in a workplace comedy and Strange Brew, a comedy starring Laurie Metcalf as a newly sober matriarch whose family runs a brewery. Fox also killed Christian Slater's comedy Breaking In, as well as Breakout Kings and ironically, Most Likely to Succeed. [Deadline]
ABC picks up a family of superheroes, Mark Wahlberg writes about females looking for love, and more TV Bites after the jump.
· Good news for Dexter fans who were sorry to see Julie Benz leave last season: ABC has picked up No Ordinary Family, which stars Benz and Michael Chiklis in a series about a family that suddenly develops special powers and has to learn how to deal with their new abilities. [THR]
· Mark Wahlberg and Stephen Levinson are close to a deal with HBO for a female-centered series, which sources say will not be as Hollywood-related as Entourage. That's funny, since the working title for the series was originally Starf*ckers. [THR]
· FX has passed on a comedy pilot Sweat Shop. [Deadline]
