Exclusive: A year ago, film and TV writer Adam F. Goldberg landed his first broadcast pilot order with the Fox comedy Breaking In. It didn't make the cut in May but, in a rare case of a pilot coming back from the dead, it received a seven-episode midseason order by the network six months later. To top it off, the single-camera comedy starring Christian Slater landed a killer time slot, following American Idol's performance show on Wednesday. Now, Goldberg is wrapping a breakthrough year in TV with his first overall deal, a two-year pact at Sony Pictures TV, which produces Breaking In with studio-based Happy Madison. Goldberg started off in TV as writer of Syfy's 2001 comedy pilot Area 52 and as writer-producer on CBS' multicamera sitcom Still Standing. He segued into movies, writing Fanboys and also working on the DreamWorks animated comedies Monsters vs. Aliens and How to Train Your Dragon.
