reeddiamondI found an article dated Monday of this week indicating that Franklin and Bash is likely to be picked up by TNT rather than TBS. TNT and TBS are suppposed to unveil their new shows next Wednesday.
The link to the article is here.

For those of you who can't get this link, I put the full text of the article on my LJ.
Salient bit follows.
I hear pilots Franklin & Bash and Glory Daze have emerged as the frontrunners for series pickup at TBS, with orders likely to come as early as this week. And, in an interesting twist, Franklin & Bash appears poised to move to sister network TNT. In its first foray into hourlong comedies, TBS in January picked up four cast-contingent pilots, Franklin & Bash, Glory Daze, In Security and Uncle Nigel. All four were cast and produced. Franklin & Bash, from Sony TV, writers/executive producers Kevin Falls and Bill Chais and executive producer Jamie Tarses, stars Breckin Meyer and Mark-Paul Gosselaar as street lawyers and lifelong friends who, after taking down a white-shoe law firm in a high-profile case, are recruited by the firm's patriarch. The pilot, co-starring Dana Davis, Kumail Nanjiani, Reed Diamond, Garcelle Beauvais and Malcolm McDowell has been garnering strong buzz from the get-go and attracted a well-known cast.

And I enjoy how messed up Kevin Falls likes to make families in his shows. I'm looking forward to seeing Reed and Malcolm McDowell on screen together.
