"Strangers With Candy" director Paul Dinello has signed on to helm the Fox pilot "Me & Lee?" lifting the director contingency on the Lionsgate comedy.

Meanwhile, the production start date for the network's drama pilot "NSA Innocent" has been pushed back to rework the project and recast the lead.

"Me & Lee?" a half-hour single-camera comedy, centers on a guy with chronic back pain who gets more than he bargained for when he undergoes "bionic" back surgery in a secret basement lab run by Lee Majors.

Matthew Salsberg, the writer on the project, is executive producing with Jenji Kohan, Allan Loeb and Steven Pearl.

Dinello directed and shared writing credits on the 2005 feature "Strangers." He also played Geoffrey Jellineck in the film and Comedy Central's "Strangers" series, which he co-created and served as writer on.

He is repped by UTA and the Collective.
