What About Brian is a dramatic television series created by Dana Stevens and co-produced by J.J. Abrams' company Bad Robot Productions. The series premiered on April 16, 2006 on ABC, as a midseason replacement. The show regularly airs on Monday at 10 p.m. ET/9 p.m. CT. On May 16, 2006, ABC renewed the series for its second season, notably making it the only new series to be picked up by the network from the 2005-2006 television season, despite it being the final new series introduced by ABC during the season. The series returned October 9, 2006, with a full 22-episode season confirmed by November 10, 2006. The second season order was subsequently scaled back to 19 episodes by the network.

It was announced on January 5, 2007, that Tiffani Thiessen (Beverly Hills 90210) would join the cast playing Natasha Drew, Dave's new boss. She made her first appearance in the February 19, 2007 episode.

What About Brian ended its second season on March 26, 2007. Rumors began circulating in April 2007 that The CW Network would pick up the show. However, due to licensing costs, this is unlikely.

What About Brian co-star Amanda Detmer has been cast in new CBS sitcom pilot 1321 Clover, putting the show's future in doubt. Detmer's duties on Clover will presumably come second to the renewal of Brian.

On May 15, 2007, ABC announced the cancellation of the show.

Pilot

32 year old Brian Davis is living the life of a single guy in Los Angeles. However, he is the only bachelor left in his group of friends. His best friend, lawyer Adam Hillman, recently got engaged to his long-time girlfriend Marjorie, a girl Brian has secretly long had a crush on and who Adam was planning to break up with. His other best friend Dave Greco, who is co-founder with Brian of Zap Monkey, a company that designs and produces video games, can not wait to welcome Brian into the marriage club, as Dave has been married with Deena for 13 years and has three daughters. His older sister, record executive Nicole "Nic" Varzi, has recently got married and is pregnant, even though she is in her forties. Brian's journey to find romance leads him down a road where the picture perfect relationships of his friends are tested and revealed for what they truly are.
