Description per Futon Critic.....

JULIE RENO, BOUNTY HUNTER (FOX) - Erin Daniels (Dana Fairbanks on "The L Word") has been tapped for the lead role in the comedy pilot, about a down-on-her-luck single mother (Daniels) who turns to bounty hunting. She'll play the title character of Julie Reno in the 20th Century Fox Television-based half-hour. Her character is described in the casting notice as: "30. A sexy, feisty, funny woman from a blue-collar background, she has a weakness for a man with a mullet. While working as a waitress to support her 13 year old son, Clark, Julie is scouted by a bail bondsman, who thinks her upfront way of handling deadbeat customers is just what he needs in his business. So Julie becomes a bounty hunter, going after "skips" for more money than she's ever made before. Of course, first she has to face down her associate, T-Bone, who initially treats her like a servant. However, underneath their fractious interaction, there's a lot of heat going on between these two. Right now, however, Julie's more concerned with getting the jump on T-Bone, rather than jumping on him. In fact, the two have a bet going as to who will bring in their latest skip an armed and dangerous felon who may well have met his match in Julie Reno." Michael Ross is behind the project, which has also added Lev Spiro ("Summerland") as director. Sandy Grushow and Paul Shapiro of Phase Two Productions also serve as executive producers.

ETA: More news on Julie Reno - Annie Potts has joined Fox's comedy pilot "Julie Reno, Bounty Hunter,". "Julie Reno," from 20th TV, centers on a single mom-turned-bounty hunter (Erin Daniels). Potts will play her mother, a former stripper.

Stephanie (comatisedheart from Media Blvd) visited the Sound Stage and has been kind enough to share her tale with us!

......

Erin was really funny on set, I heard her saying “Gosh” and “Come get some dinner!” (in full on Napoleon Dynamite
voice). And she was singing, “We can dance if we want to” (The Men At Work song, heh, because the director had said
something about dancing, I dunno). It was cute! At one point some "network" people showed up and I heard them telling
some guy (I think he was a Julie Reno Producer), how “sharp” the set looked (and it did, actually). Erin (as Julie) was
wearing a grey tank top, jeans, a brown belt, and boots (the outfit looked kind of like Dana's from "Looking Back").
