ABC Family greenlights comedy pilots


September 30, 2009 ABC Family has greenlighted two comedy pilots, one starring Melissa Joan Hart and Joey Lawrence and the other hailing from "Boy Meets World" creator Michael Jacobs. In the untitled Hart-Lawrence multicamera project, the "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch" star will play Hailey, a political dynasty wild child-turned-politician who takes in her teenage niece and pre-adolescent nephew when her sister goes to prison and her brother-in-law flees. ABC Family is coming off a good summer in which two of its three new series, the comedy "10 Things I Hate About You" and the drama "Make It or Break It," debuted to strong ratings and earned second-season renewals.
