Fred Savage, that plunky Kevin Arnold from “The Wonder Years” and recent director of “Daddy Day Camp” may be headed back to television. A pilot called “Single White Millionaire” has been ordered by CBS that will see Fred playing an “unassuming, thirtysomething millionaire ready to settle down”.

I know - it sounds revolutionary right?

Ok, maybe not so much - but that doesn’t mean that the show won’t be good. We’ll just have to wait and see how the premise is handled. The series comes from the mind of Ricky Blitt, a former “Family Guy” writer. I can’t decide if that’s a good thing or not - I mean, I certainly wouldn’t want to see a lot of “Family Guy” styled jokes in this pilot - but the guys who created “Avatar - The Last Air Bender” were “Family Guy” alums too - and that show is one of the most engaging kid’s shows…well, ever.

So the jury is still very much out on this new pilot, but I’m looking forward to seeing what it has to offer, and if it makes it onto the fall schedule.
