NBC has given series orders to two comedy pilots — a detective show starring Jake Johnson and a rom-com from Jamie Lee Curtis. An untitled therapist comedy starring Jane Lynch and Katey Segal is not moving forward at the network.

Little is known about “Sunset P.I.” other than it stars Johnson as a private investigator. The quippy logline says the project “continues the proud tradition of Los Angeles private eyes that began with Philip Marlowe and will end with this show.”
