Rex is Not Your TV Show: An Unauthorized, Unofficial Look at the NBC-TV Pilot "Rex Is Not Your Lawyer"
From NBC Universal's acceptance of the pilot television show in Spring 2007, to its unremarked-upon rejection in Spring 2010, "Rex Is Not Your Lawyer" was a quirky concept about an anxiety-ridden lawyer that had to coach his clients to defend themselves in court. Fronted by a top-notch cast including David Tennant ("Doctor Who"), Jeffrey Tambor ("Arrested Development"), Jane Curtin ("30 Rock") and Jerry O'Connell ("Sliders"), worldwide media sources and fans alike had high hopes for the show's acceptance onto the NBC Fall schedule. However, in a busy television season already packed with too many legal dramas, not all of them could earn the golden ticket of full-season production... and "Rex" simply didn't make the cut.
