ABC gavels Hemingson for dramedy

August 27, 2007 Comedy writer-producer David Hemingson is returning to his legal roots with a one-hour dramedy project that has landed at ABC with a put pilot commitment after healthy bidding by several networks. The untitled show focuses on a diverse group of hard-living, hard-working young associates at a high-profile law firm and the eccentric, aggressive and ambitious partners that dominate and complicate their lives. During the past 10 years, Hemingson has worked on such half-hour comedies as NBC's "Just Shoot Me," CBS' "How I Met Your Mother" and Fox's animated "Family Guy" and "American Dad."
