From a Variety report, the creators of Fox's animated King of the Hill signed a deal to create a new Fox sitcom featuring a talking orangutan. You know, those furry red-haired primates from the island of Borneo. Just thought I'd throw in my amazing geographic information there.. heh.

Alan Cohen and Alan Freedland are developing the as-yet-untitled project, which will deal with a crocodile hunter who hosts a Los Angeles TV show alongside the orangutan. Sounds like an interesting enough concept so far.

Cohen and Freedland plan to use computer imagery to bring the show's orangutan to life. Their deal to create a pilot for the crocodile-hunter project is part of a multiyear development deal with producer 20th Century Fox Television.
