FX Buys Pilot of 'Nip/Tuck' Creator's New Series

FX has extended its relationship with Nip/Tuck creator Ryan Murphy by buying a pilot of his new series. Originally, the show was entitled 4 Oz. and had been pitched as a story of a married sportswriter with children who discovers that he is actually a transsexual. However, a representative from the cable network told The Washington Post's The TV Column that the name has been scrapped and that the show now involves a married gynecologist who shares a practice with his father.

FX has insisted that the change in the show's premise has nothing to do with LA Times Sportswriter Christine Daniels, who, prior to undergoing sexual reassignment surgery, was known as Mike Penner and was married to a fellow sportswriter. Moreover, the FX representative said that the changes were made even before Daniels' publicly announced her transformation.
