The verdict is in: David E. Kelley’s legal drama “Legally Mad” is not going forward at NBC. After originally opting to keep the pilot in contention for midseason, the network has decided to pass, triggering a seven-figure penalty to the Warner Bros. TV-produced drama. There are no immediate plans for the project to be shopped elsewhere. Also not expected to make it on NBC is the Dick Wolf-produced “Lost & Found.” There has been talk about shopping the quirky crime procedural starring Katee Sackhoff to sister cable network USA, but that is considered a long shot. USA already has a relationship with Wolf through his “Law & Order: Criminal Intent,” which migrated to the cable channel from NBC. USA also has a law enforcement drama with a strong female lead in “In Plain Sight.” – From The Hollywood Reporter
