Fox has given a presentation order to a half-hour project from J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot Prods. and Warner Bros. TV.
Bad Robot is keeping mum on the details of the untitled show, which is described only as a "medical comedy." Mike Markowitz is penning the script and will exec produce along with Abrams and Bad Robot's Bryan Burk.
Markowitz' past credits include the CBS sitcom "Becker" and the short-lived laffers "In-Laws" and "It's All Relative." He also worked on the cult-fave USA Network toon "Duckman."
Fox is in business with Bad Robot and WBTV on the drama "Fringe," which bowed its second season last week.
