Fox Close to Picking Up Two Series

Fox’s half-hour space comedy Boldly Going Nowhere and the hourlong musical comedy Glee appear close to series pickups.

That’s the word from the network’s screenings held Thursday and Friday.

As part of its split development season, Fox brass are viewing four pilots: the 20th TV-produced Boldly, Glee and Ernesto and UMS/BermanBraun’s Virtuality.

The execs are said to be very high on Boldly — which hails from the It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia trio of Rob McElhenney, Charlie Day and Glenn Howerton — and on Ryan Murphy’s Glee, whose cut-down 44-minute version of the pilot is being well received.
