Speaking of Rob Long: Guess who just got a pilot accepted with ABC? Yup. From FutonCritic:

RED AND BLUE (ABC, New!) – Dan Staley and Rob Long (“Cheers”) have scored a last-minute pilot order for a new comedy about a liberal dad and a conservative grandfather who are both looking to lend their political influence to the next generation. The project is set up at Touchstone Television and Tom Shadyac’s Shady Acres banner with Staley, Long, Shadyac and Michael Bostick executive producing. The pilot itself is scheduled to tape on Thursday, April 28 at Walt Disney Studios.

Congrats, Rob, dude.
