From the December 20th Variety:

FOX SERIES GROWS ON LANGTON

By MICHAEL SCHNEIDER

     HOLLYWOOD - Brooke Langton, who most recently played Keanu Reeves' love interest in football feature "The Replacements," is a big girl now. The actress has been tapped to star in the tentatively titled Fox series "When I Grow Up."
     Langton stars as twentysomething Elizabeth Gillcrest, whose life is turned upside down when her older husband discovers she is having an affair. Her character ends up at a "Tempt-a-Mate" firm working with the man she had the affair with.
     Focus of the new series is reminiscent of creator Glenn Gordon Caron's hit 1980s romantic comedy "Moonlighting" which also featured a young couple, Cybill Shepherd and Bruce Willis, who worked together.
     The new one-hour romantic comedy will go into production shortly to complete its 13-episode order before the start of potential strikes by writers and actors next spring and summer.


Since it's on Fox, more people will see it than The Net, which aired on USA. But if it's just as bad as Rena Sofer's Oh, Grow Up!, it'll be canceled just as fast.
