As pilot season continues apace, ABC has announced that it's greenlighted another pilot for a multi-camera family comedy: 'Other People's Kids.'

According to Deadline, the comedy centers on a 32-year-old guy with no responsibilities, who suddenly finds himself with an instant family when he falls in love with an older woman with two kids, an ex-husband and ex-in-laws.

New ABC programming chief Paul Lee is a fan of the multi-camera sitcom format, and he's said to be mulling over a return to the ABC Friday night 'TGIF' comedy block. To this end, the pilots ordered by ABC so far this season have skewed heavily towards multi-camera comedies, including 'The Last Day of Man,' 'Work It' and 'Smothered.'

Not much in the way of actual news or information happened at the ABC executive session this morning, mainly for two reasons: 1) ABC refused to elaborate on Steve McPherson's departure, and 2) McPherson's replacement, Paul Lee, had only been on the job for 36 hours when he took the stage to talk to the gathered critics.

ABC publicity exec Kevin Brockman brought out a large stuffed pink elephant before introducing Lee, to joke about the pink elephant in the room of McPherson's departure. But that was the only comment he made on it, saying that their previous statement, issued when McPherson left, will stand as the only thing they'll say on the subject.

What did come out of Lee's session was the idea that ABC has a brand and it needs to be strengthened. As much as any broadcast network can be branded, of course. Lee's last job was as the head of ABC Family, where he had to "not only channel my inner American, but I had to channel my inner female teen."

It's official: Paul Lee is the new head of ABC Entertainment Group.

"I'm proud of everything we achieved at ABC Family, and I'm looking forward to working with another great team at ABC Entertainment Group to bring even more compelling stories to viewers," Lee said in a statement. "ABC is a great network defined by creativity and known for delivering some of the best shows on television. I'm excited to be part of it, and deeply honored to be chosen for the unique opportunity to lead the network and the brand into the future."

Disney made the announcement via press release.

Lee served as head of ABC Family since 2004. He helped usher in original programming such as 'The Secret Life of the American Teenager,' 'Greek,' Kyle XY' and 'Pretty Little Liars.'

Lee will not serve as presidents of both networks. His replacement at ABC Family will be named at a later date.

In other TV news ...

ABC Family is giving a little more love to Kyle XY, which became the most-watched original series on the network last year. According to The Hollywood Reporter the science-fiction program, which was given a 13-episode pickup last August, has been picked up for 10 more episodes. That's 23 episodes, folks. Pretty decent for a cable series.

Why the extension? According to Paul Lee, president over at ABC Family, it's due to the quality of the new episode; executives have been so delighted with the shows for season two that the order for new episodes was released. In addition, Lee states that Kyle XY has defined the network. I can believe that because before Kyle the network was known more for repeats of Step by Step than for original programming.

For those of you unfamiliar with Kyle XY, it chronicles the adventures of a mysterious teenager with superhuman powers (yes, another one of those) who has no memory or history of his past life. In the second season, which begins on June 11th, viewers will be introduced to some of Kyle's past and how he gained his abilities. The new order of episodes will air sometime early in 2008.
