ABC has given a put pilot order to an untitled drama from "Grey's Anatomy" scribe Jill Soloway and J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot shingle.

Project, from Warner Bros. TV (where Bad Robot is based), revolves around a cable access psychologist who is forced to take a job as a mobile notary.

Soloway will write and exec produce, while Abrams and Bad Robot's Kathy Lingg will exec produce. ABC has attached a penalty to the project.

Soloway currently serves as a consulting producer on "Grey's Anatomy" and also has consulted on "Dirty Sexy Money." She spent four years as a writer/co-exec producer on "Six Feet Under" and is adapting the book "Pledged: The Secret Life of Sororities" for Paramount.

Onstage, Soloway helped create the Chicago-based "The Real Live Brady Bunch," and she also created the "Sit n' Spin" showcase in Los Angeles. She also wrote the essay collection "Tiny Ladies in Shiny Pants."

Soloway's other TV credits include "Baby Blues," "The Oblongs" and "Nikki."

Ah she was one of my fave SFU scribes--this could be worth watching (even if I haven't really cared fro some of Bad Robot's past shows--the uber bland what about brian--Six Degrees did grow on me but was canceled by the time it did)

Six Degrees also featured one my my favourite writing partners - Julie Rottenberg & Elisa Zuritsky (ex-Sex and the City, now writing for Army Wives, I believe).

Yes, another one... And then they'll realise that they gave waaaaaaaaaay to much money to him (those [in]famous $50m)...

To be fair many of these shows post Lost haven't had much direct involvement by him at all...

I was going to look up what those writers of Six Degres had sone elsewhere--they had some strong episodes. I finished the series over the summer with the abc.com online only airings of the last three eps and actually ti got, overall, *very* good--from such a very dull start. Too bad

I was referring to alias and felicity the shows he ruined those are both pre-lost. I also liked Six Degrees, abc shouldn't of given up on it but it seemed as if the writers didn't know where they were going with the plot.
