What’s My Mantra? Jeff Lowell, who wrote and produced ye olde Michael J. FoxCharlie Sheen sitcom Spin City, is developing a new one for NBC. It will be “a romantic comedy about a couple from the point of view of the man and the woman whose unspoken thoughts we can hear via voiceover.” Or, as Lowell put it, “It’s a little bit like the balcony scene from Annie Hall.” [Deadline]
