ABC is getting into the Jerry Buckheimer crime drama business.

The network on Friday greenlighted an untitled pilot from Warner Bros. TV and Jerry Bruckheimer TV to be directed by frequent Bruckheimer collaborator Danny Cannon.

The Bruckheimer pilot, written by Mark Friedman, revolves around a team of dedicated amateur detectives working on cases of unidentified victims.

"CSI" director/exec producer Cannon will exec produce alongside Friedman, Bruckheimer and Jonathan Littman.

If the pilot goes to series, it would be Bruckheimer's first scripted show on ABC. The network's previous regime famously passed on "CSI, developed at ABC Studios (then Touchstone) under then studio chief Stephen McPherson before it was sold to CBS.

ABC, now run by McPherson, had pursued Bruckheimer and bid on "Eleventh Hour," which ultimately landed at CBS.

At ABC, Bruckheimer previously exec produced the doc series "Profiles From the Front Line"

Oh, dear God. I pray that ABC doesn't start modeling itself after CBS. CBS has enough of those procedural crime shows for all THREE of the big networks.
