Former Knights of Prosperity star Donal Logue has been signed for the lead in a new one-camera sitcom for Fox called Hackett. According to , the show follows a "bad-boy literary luminary who escapes his disgraced career teaching at Yale only to find himself among the ultra-PC ranks of teachers at an Ohio public high school." Rachel Boston will play the school principal and Morgan Murphy will play one of the teachers. Barry Sonnenfeld (Men in Black) will direct the pilot. Sounds like pretty conventional stuff but at least it isn't a three-camera laugh track piece of trash. So if nothing else, they've got the format right.
