Report: Fox Picks Up BEN FOX IS MY MANNY, GOODWIN GAMES and MINDY
May 9, 2012 by Marisa Roffman
Fox has started stocking up on new shows for the 2012-2013 season.
Following the success of NEW GIRL (and RAISING HOPE), the first three pickups from Fox are comedy series — BEN FOX IS MY MANNY, which is about a single mother whose brother moves in with her to help raise her baby; MINDY, from THE OFFICE’s Mindy Kaling, who will star as a doctor trying to balance a personal life with her hectic professional duties. (About a moment before the news broke, Kaling tweeted out “I love you, Kevin Reilly.”); and GOODWIN GAMES (from HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER’s Carter Bays, Craig Thomas and Chris Harris), which follows three siblings (played by Becki Newton, Scott Foley and Jake Lacy) who inherit their late father’s fortune — but there’s a catch.
Update: It seems Kaling’s new show is now titled IT’S MESSY and BEN FOX IS MY MANNY is now BEN & KATE. (These are all subject to change until they actually reach air, though.)
We’ll have more details on these shows when everything gets officially announced next week, but in the meantime, do any of these intrigue you?

I’d be more excited if they picked up Zachary Levi’s pilot. I don’t really care for Mindy Kaling, the Goodwin Games seems like its going to be a stretch and Ben Fox is my Manny? Meh.
