NBC has continued making its series orders for 2013-14, picking up Bill Lawrence's half-hour entry Undateable and an adaptation of 1960s drama Ironside starring Blair Underwood.
The pickup for Undateable makes the executive producer two-for-two this pilot season after Fox ordered his adaptation of I Suck at Girls -- now titled Surviving Jack -- to series earlier this week. Worth noting: Lawrence also has Ground Floor, a comedy pilot set up at TBS. The comedy stars Chris D'Elia and comes a day after NBC canceled Whitney, in which he co-starred opposite Whitney Cummings for two seasons.
