Do you think Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are constantly arguing over who is the smart one? They certainly aren?t feuding over who has the sweeter non-threatening dance moves, that?s for sure. We mean, come on. Luckily the couple can both agree on how much they?re killing it career-wise now that their new multi-camera sitcom The Smart One has been picked up for a pilot order by ABC. Now they?ll just have to fight over who has the more jovial interviewing style. Or maybe who?s spent more time in close proximity to David Cross?s bare chest?

Starring de Rossi and produced by DeGeneres, Deadline reports that their new show focuses on a ?brilliant and successful woman? who must reluctantly work for her ?less brainy but more popular sister,? a woman who happens to be a former beauty queen, weather girl and, oh right, Mayor. Portia stars as one of the siblings and we know Ellen would be excellent as the other, but then they?d probably disagree over whether that seemed weird or not. It does, doesn?t it? Just a little?
