E
Dramedy set in an ad agency that's desperate to land a major
account
--- Just one account?

Except for the one account part, it sounds just like Ugly Betty.

KINGS
Contemporary soap loosely based on the story of King David,
the biblical King of Israel.
--- Too Jewish.

Yeah and we all know that Jews can't make it in Hollywood....

MAFIA WIVES
drama about mob wives who take over the family business
--- Why do I get this queasy feeling of Cashmere Mafia and
Lipstick Jungle busting heads?

I wouldn't mind seeing Lucy Liu busting heads....

TAPPED
Drama about a group of people who realize they are somehow
plugged into a frequency at which God is transmitting messages
to them.
--- Oh, no, not Eli Stone again!

Eli Stone only with 30% more blasphemy.

UNTITLED DAVID HUDGINS PROJECT
Character-based procedural revolving around two brothers who
are senior partners in a medical malpractice law firm, one of
which is a doctor.
--- Who do I sue for this?

*** Wolf, it was the Law & Order franchise which started the modern
procedural craze.

UNTITLED ERIK BORK PROJECT
Drama about an alpha female boss who shakes up a
male-dominated workplace.
--- Anything with the word 'alpha' is dead meat.

Also this is basically a solo version of Cashmere Mafia and Lipstick
Jungle.

A couple in their 30s - a college professor moonlighting
as a controversial political blogger, and his wife, who works
at a private school and volunteers at a juvenile prison - who
are going though a divorce.

I suppose if they both fought you could think of it as a modern
middle-class version of Hart to Hart.

UNTITLED HAYES MACARTHUR PROJECT

his two sons in an attempt to put his life back together.

UNTITLED JANE BUSSMANN PROJECT
Comedy about a has-been hairdresser trying to raise his kids.
--- Get rid of the kids and maybe we might have a sale here.

How exactly do you become a "has-been" hairdresser? Do you get
ostracized when people find out you're straight?

UNTITLED PHIL TRAILL PROJECT
Sketch comedy project which tells varied stories of 20- and
30somethings and their attitudes toward sex and relationships.
--- Broaden the scope and we might have a sale here.

A white In Living Color.

UNTITLED ROBIN SCHIFF PROJECT
Drama about young performers living together in New York,
trying to find fame and success in their creative endeavors.

Fame without the high school and impromptu dance numbers.

ZIP
Single-cam sitcom with Steven Webber as a con artist dad
with three kids always scheming to break into high society's
inner sanctum of Beverly Hills 90210.
