The pilot follows Richard Lovely, the disgruntled author of the best-selling children's book series, "Mr. Mouse." He doesn't hate children, but rather just everything about them. After a publicity fiasco involving an unexpectedly savvy 9-year-old kid, Mr. Mouse appears in Richard's real life as he is forced into an unlikely father/son relationship that will change his life forever.

Lennon will star alongside Nicole Sun and Wendie Malick.

Lennon is best known for co-creating and starring in the Comedy Central mockumentary series "Reno 911!" He also starred in the CBS reboot of "The Odd Couple" with Matthew Perry. He recently appeared in the FOX series "Lethal Weapon."

On the film side, Lennon is an accomplished screenwriter, writting the "Night at the Museum" franchise with Robert Ben Garant as well as films like "The Pacifier" and "Balls of Fury."

"Richard Lovely" will be written and executive produced by Billy Finnegan. Alex Hardcastle will serve executive producer in addition to directing the pilot. 20th Century FOX Television will produce.
