ABC Hands Pilot Order To Family Comedy ‘Bucktown’ From ‘The Conners’ Team The Disney-owned network has handed a pilot order to Bucktown, a family comedy from Emily Wilson, co-exec producer of the Roseanne spinoff.
The show follows a woman named Amy, who, after being dumped by her boyfriend and kicked out of her apartment on the eve of a big promotion, finds refuge at her mom’s house in the blue-collar neighborhood where she grew up. Amy reconnects with her teenage niece living there due to her sister’s latest rehab stint, and resolves to stay when she realizes that her mom and niece aren’t quite equipped to go it alone.
