CBS Picks Up Bleep My Dad Says, and Other News From the Upfront Trenches

It's only the beginning of a very exciting upfronts week and already NBC has buried an expensive apocalyptic project and unveiled vaguely racist previews of their new series, while CBS rekindled a relationship with Tom Selleck, Fox announced a Glee-tastic fall schedule, and Movieline paid tribute to the recast actors and predicted which new shows will die first. Still, the day is far from over. Here's the latest in pilot news.

CBS

· Predictably, the Tiffany Network picked up Bleep My Dad Says, the William-Shatner comedy based on the maybe-fake Sh*t My Dad Says Twitter account.

· As reported earlier today, CBS also picked up three dramas: Hawaii Five-O, Defenders, Blue Bloods and a comedy Mike & Molly.

· The Eye also greenlit a Criminal Minds spin-off starring Forest Whitaker.

· Necessary Roughness is a 90-minute drama a "tough, sexy Long Island divorcee, who, to make ends meet, becomes the therapist for a professional football team and quickly becomes sought after by other athletes, musicians, politicians and those living in the spotlight." This project is based on a true story.

· A Legal Mind centers on "a brilliant but unmotivated college student who gets recruited by a top Manhattan corporate law firm despite not being a lawyer. He has to use his book and street smarts and hustling skills to keep the charade."
