Now that I have my main cast lined up! I can pitch my pilot idea!

Main Cast

I am currently casting the main two recurring cast members but casting is mostly complete.
 * Stephen Johnson as Brian S. Fosterman
 * Nicole Martin as Jessica Linderson
 * Jesse Raynes as Michael Dilard

And the theme song I chose is... Popular Song (originally by Ariana Grande & MIKA) I was hoping Nicole & Jesse could sing it.

Here is the idea: (Title: Starting Average)

So the episode would start off with a gossip news update, explaining Brian's career and then give the story about the blogger and maybe a paperezzi video of him getting fired. Then Brian is shown on his bed turning off the tv. His parents come in, along with maybe his manager and state how serious the rumor is affecting his career and that he probably won't get another acting job again. And then they state that Brian will need to attend public school again and act like a normal teen. Brian would do a long dramatic no. Then cue sneak peek of theme song (like they did on liv & maddie).

Then we bring it to Jessica & Melissa (Michael's older sister) walking into Michael's room to wake him up. Michael springs up and is like, "Is it Christmas?" And Jessica would explain to him that Christmas was two weeks ago and that they are going back to school today. After that, they get him out of bed and force him to get ready so that they could catch the subway to school. We fast forward to when Brian arrives at the school in a little bit too dramatic clothing, maybe like a little clip montage of everything on his first day going wrong speeding up the day to mid-lunch. When he is trying to get a seat at lunch. He tries to sit with the pop squad (which is what they call the popular kids there)  and they rudely turn him down, but he doesnt take the hint... That's when Michael and Jessica come in, they are in the lunch line when they see Julia (the head of the pop squad) messing with him. Jess (who is annoyed by her) decides to put a stop to it. They head over there and save Brian from even more humilation.They pull him out into the hallway, Brian claims he doesnt need help and runs back into the cafeteria to come out a minute later with spitballs on his head. He admits defeat and explains to them the situation that he is in.

Jess is kinda on the edge about it, but Michael convinces her to go for it... They start off afterschool where they take Brian to Michael's. Where Brian takes the subway for the first time.. after a comedic subway ride. They get to Michael's place, they start by trying to change Michael's style a bit. While Jess leaves the room for a sec, Brian conforts Michael about his feelings towards her, seeing the way Michael talks to her. This is when it is first revealed in the series that Michael has feelings for her. But before Brian can ask more about Jess comes back in. Melissa soon gets home (she stayed afterschool for something) and being a fashionista she is helps them out. The next day. Brian comes in with a new sense of style, but is still is theatric self. He is shown talking to Jess & Michael when the pop squad comes up to him. They admire his new sense of his style and invite him into the group. But he starts to walk but then notice Michael and Jess, and decides to stay with them. And they officially allow him into the group.

The episode ends with Brian moving into the same apartment building as Michael and Jessica. (His parents decide to get an average home in NY)

What do you guys think?
