ABC greenlights 'Crazy'

Project based on Morris, Lee book

A few days after picking up the pilot "Awkward Situations for Men," ABC has something else to say about the gender wars.

Alphabet has greenlighted the comedy pilot "Women are Crazy, Men are Stupid."

Project is based on a book by Howard Morris and Jenny Lee. Morris and Lee are also the pilot script writers.

Sitcom will be shot as a multi-camera half-hour.

"Women are Crazy. Men are Stupid" follows a man and woman, both unlucky in love, who hope this relationship is the one that sticks.

ABC Studios is producing "Women are Crazy, Men are Stupid." It's unclear what Morris' and Lee's credits will be on the pilot or if the project goes to series. Elliot Webb is also attached.

"Women are Crazy, Men are Stupid" reps one of the big trends this development season: Romantic comedies. With the family comedy already making a comeback this year, several webheads are hoping to find this generation's "Mad About You"- style laffer.
