Here's yet another rundown of who's been cast in network pilots for the upcoming season:

Christina Applegate and Jean Smart will both star in the ABC comedy pilot Sam I Am, which is not, one assumes, a televised sequel to the Sean Penn film I Am Sam, though turning that movie into a comedy would be really funny. Well, to me anyway. Actually, Applegate plays a woman who has to piece her life back together after suffering from amnesia.

Courtesy of The Hollywood Reporter, here's some more casting news for upcoming network pilots:

Eliza Dushku will star in Nurses, a new dramedy pilot for FOX. Dushku joins Drew Sidora, who was also recently cast.

Nikki Cox will star in Fugly, a new comedy pilot for CBS, written by My Name if Earl creator Greg Garcia, about three sisters who decide to purchase one of them an extreme makeover.
