"The Rules for Starting Over" is set to premiere on FOX in Spring 2008.

From the creatively fruitful minds of the Farrelly Brothers comes "The Rules for Starting Over," a single camera comedy, set in Boston, about a group of newly single friends learning the painful lessons of starting over in their 30s. They'd all love to get remarried on "The Rules for Starting Over," if they could just find their true loves.

Jack "Gator" Gately (Craig Bierko, "Cinderella Man," "Boston Legal") is a charismatic, optimistic leader who never expected to be single again on "The Rules for Starting Over." But now that he is, he's determined to make the best of it on "The Rules for Starting Over." He's going to sift through all the bruised, damaged, occasionally psychotic fruit until he finds "the one."

Joining Gator in bachelorhood redux on "The Rules for Starting Over" is his thrice-divorced best friend Tommy (Johnny Sneed, "The Guardian," "Fever Pitch"). The founder and brewmaster of an upstart microbrewery, Tommy has a voracious appetite for food, beer and women. He falls in love easily and always disastrously, yet truly hopes his fourth starter marriage will be "the one."

Dr. Freddy Sahgal (Shaun Majumder, "24," "Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle") has seen some pretty strange stuff during his years as a successful surgeon on "The Rules for Starting Over," but he's never seen any of it through the eyes of a single man. Probably the least equipped of the group on "The Rules for Starting Over" to handle this unexpected life change is Dr. Freddy, who can execute a triple bypass in his sleep, but is all thumbs when it comes to the opposite sex.

Rounding out the group on "The Rules for Starting Over" is Kate (Rashida Jones, "The Office"), a smart, successful attorney who handled all three of the boys' divorces. Having just turned thirty, Kate finds herself dumped after a seven-year engagement. She reluctantly joins the guys in negotiating the treacherous waters of dating on "The Rules for Starting Over." Kate owns the brownstone next to Gator's. Over time, this pair may find that "the one" is just a brick wall away.

"The Rules for Starting Over" stars Craig Bierko as Gator, Rashida Jones as Kate, Johnny Sneed as Tommy, and Shaun Majumder as Freddy.

"The Rules for Starting Over" is produced by 20th Century Fox Television, Conundrum Entertainment, and Watson Pond Productions. Bobby Farrelly, Peter Farrelly, Bradley Thomas, and Brad Johnson are executive producers. Chris Pappas, Michael Bernier, and Kevin Barnett wrote the pilot for "The Rules for Starting Over," and Bobby Farrelly and Peter Farrelly directed.
