The channel will also return Rob Lowe to the small screens! Titled THE PRO the sitcom will have Lowe appearing as former tennis doubles champion “Big Ben” Bertrahm, whose career flame-out and misguided investments have left him working as the pro at a tennis and golf club, where he tries to hustle and charm his way back into America’s 1%.

TYLER RITTER,LAURIE METCALFE

Over at CBS they are preparing comedy pilot for THE MCCARTHYS which will revolve around a big, sports-crazed Irish Catholic family in Boston and their gay son (to be played by Tyler Ritter, the son of late John Ritter) whose greatest sin is not his sexuality but his desire to spend less time with his family. Kelen Coleman will play his sister and also his room-mate. Jimmy Dunn will be the dim and a little chubby Sean McCarthy, who lives in an attic room off of his brother Gerard’s third-floor apartment. Laurie Metcalfe will play the clan’s loving mother who has no filter and loves having her gay son keep her company when her husband (Jack McGee) and other kids are off coaching basketball games.
