When the hell is this show supposed to debut? It was announced - months ago - that it would coming to HBO or Showtime "soon," but months have gone by and no word of when or where it will be airing. Is it even going to make it to television?

Showtime has ordered 12 episodes of a still untitled series (formerly known as Californication) with former X-Files star David Duchovny playing divorced writer Hank Moody who tries to juggle his relationship with his daughter, his feelings for his ex, and certain, well, proclivities that come to light during the pilot episode.
Series also stars Natascha McElhone, Evan Handler, Madeleine Martin, and Madeline Zima.
The project, which will be produced by Showtime, was written by Tom Kapinos (Dawson's Creek) and directed by Stephen Hopkins (24); they'll executive produce the series with David Duchovny.
The dark half-hour comedy will most likely be paired with the third season of Weeds for a late summer launch.
The series pickup likely means that fellow Showtime comedy pilots Manchild and Insatiable will not be ordered to series.
This was essentially confirmed by Kevin on today's Smodcast (Smith/Mosier Podcast).
"Showtime opted against. They picked up the David Duchovny show instead. So Manchild ain't gettin' picked up."
"It lives on the shelves of all those involved, and that's about it."
TV.com says it's going to be Premieres: September 1, 2007
