TV Bites: Debra Messing Gets a Second Shot to Wright Her Wrong

· Remember Wright vs. Wrong, that ABC comedy project starring Debra Messing that went unmentioned during upfronts week? Well, it hasn't been killed off just yet: The network has ordered a reshoot of the half-hour pilot for midseason consideration. Messing is executive producing the project in which she stars as a conservative pundit who tries to maintain her public persona despite facing her own vulnerabilities. ABC has also ordered a reshoot of the half-hour comedy How to Be a Better American, which originally starred the Daily Show's Jason Jones. Sources expect the project to undergo a major recasting.

NBC finally explores the self-help genre, Jason Priestley joins Scoundrels, and more TV Bites after the jump.
