Viacom International Media Networks has announced multi-camera sitcom development projects Operation Slut and Medics for Comedy Central.
An agreement has been signed with Tom Edge to adapt Operation Slut, while a pilot for Medics has been green lit to shoot next month.
"Medics is a laugh-out-loud sitcom that perfectly combines adolescent humour with fast-paced drama while Operation Slut is a hilarious satire of modern-day relationships - both of which sit perfectly within our channel portfolio," said by Jill Offman, managing director of Comedy Central UK and senior vice president of international content at Comedy Central.
Operation Slut was originally written by Taii K. Austin (Underemployed, Nurse Jackie, Scrubs, Ugly Betty) and will be adapted by British writer Edge (Pramface, Threesome, The Midnight Beast) for international broadcast.
The show is about 30-year-old marriage-focused "neurotic do-gooder" Ivy who on being proposed to is not ready to settle down, and instead embarks on...

As hard as it may be to believe sometimes, someone (or someones) actually sits down and writes a movie or TV show before you end up seeing it at your local multiplex or on your favorite TV network. The people who do the sitting and the writing are, surprisingly, called writers and, like the Directors, the Golden Globes and the Oscars, they have their own awards show.
This week, the Writers Guild of America, which is the trade group and advocate for writers, announced its nominations for outstanding achievement in feature film and television, radio, news, promotional writing, and graphic animation during the 2009 season to be honored at the upcoming 2010 Writers Guild Awards on February 20, 2010, in Los Angeles and New York.
We realize that these nominations may not be as glamorous as the Golden Globes or the Oscars, but we kinda like writers around here and think they do a pretty important job.

Awards heavyweights "Mad Men," "30 Rock" and "The Office" and buzzed-about newcomer "Modern Family" led the TV field for the 2010 Writers Guild Awards with three nominations each.
AMC's "Mad Men" and NBC's "30 Rock" and "The Office" are in the running for best drama/comedy series, and each received two nominations for episodic writing. "Family" made the cut for best comedy series, best new series and best episodic writing for a comedy series.
ABC's "Family" was one of two new shows to break into the best series categories along with Fox's quirky high-school dramedy "Glee," which faces "Family" in the best comedy series and best new series fields.
While the WGA Awards are still in its nomination phase, Fox's "The Simpsons" can already uncork the champagne. The veteran series is assured to win the animation category after landing all five nomination slots.
