Those projects have been moving on a slower development track at the network.\u00a0This marks ABC-affiliated ABC Studios\u2019 second high-profile sale to Fox this season, following another put pilot\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.deadline.com\/2011\/10\/fox-buys-1980s-dramedy-produced-by-shonda-rhimes-with-put-pilot-commitment\/\">commitment<\/a>\u00a0for the Shonda Rimes-produced 1980s dramedy\u00a0<em>Wildwood<\/em>.
