from

From the Emmy Award-winning creator and the star of the critically acclaimed FOX series "Arrested Development" comes Running Wilde, a romantic comedy starring Will Arnett as Steve Wilde, a filthy-rich, immature playboy trying desperately to win (or buy) the heart of his childhood sweetheart, Emmy Kadubic, the uber-liberal humanitarian who got away - all told through the perspective of a 12-year-old girl. Steve Wilde has never performed a selfless act. But why should he - he's rich! The son of an oil tycoon, Steve hasn't had to work a day in his life and has always gotten everything he's wanted - with one exception: the love of Emmy...

my take
Will Arnett tries to win the affections of Keri Russell. That's really all I needed to hear, but I'll go on to say it also comes from some of the producers of Two and a Half Men and Arrested Development. Sitcoms on Fox have rarely worked in recent history for reasons unknown. They are either critically acclaimed with a small audience or completely suck, but hang around for inexplicable reasons. This will become a cult hit, at the very least. Looking forward to it.
