Toon Time: Jonah Hill will join the likes of Seth MacFarlane and Matt Groening when he brings his very own cartoon sitcom to Fox. The show will center on a 7-year-old rich kid who acts and talks like an adult. When he’s forced to attend public school, little richie rich is not pleased. Hill will write and provide voice-over work for the show, but because it’s on network TV he won’t be able to use that awesomely blue vocabulary, which leaves us a little torn. Steal this show, HBO!

Depression Nation: Showtime has ordered the pilot for an American adaption of Shameless, a long-running British drama about pain and sorrow. William H. Macy has signed on to play the alcoholic father in a large, dysfunctional family, which will live in Chicago for this American version. Having a TV show about a screwed-up family set in their city is terrible news for all those Chicagoans who thought they’d finally shed the Rosanne legacy. Alas. [Variety]
Downer: Clive Owen and Catherine Keener are teaming up for Trust, a David Schwimmer–directed drama about a sexual predator and the effects his behavior has on his family.

Bros Before Everyone: Summit Entertainment has snagged We Love You from South Park and Parks and Recreation alum Alan Yang.
