CSI: Crime Scene Investigation executive producer <font color=yellow>Jerry Bruckheimer</font> received not one, but two pilot orders for new dramas yesterday.
The first series, entitled E-Ring, is being billed as "The West Wing set at the Pentagon", according to industry trade paper Hollywood Reporter. Created by American History X scribe <font color=yellow>David McKenna</font> and former military officer <font color=yellow>Ken Robinson</font>, the drama pilot will be produced at NBC with a view to a debut in fall 2005 if the network decides to greenlight a series.
Over at the WB network, Bruckheimer is producing a pilot about a 17-year-old lawyer. From the pen of <font color=yellow>Jonathan Shapiro</font>, whose credits include The Practice and Boston Legal, the series would revolve around a Doogie Howser-like lawyer and his mentor.
Bruckheimer is currently executive producer of no less than six CBS series: CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, CSI: Miami, CSI: New York, Without a Trace, Cold Case and the globetrotting adventure series, The Amazing Race. The producer is also shepherding new sitcoms at CBS and the WB from writer <font color=yellow>Marsh McCall</font>, but neither project has yet received a pilot order (story).
