In a competitive situation, a
single-camera comedy from The McCarthys
creator Brian Gallivan has landed at ABC with
a significant, high seven-figure penalty. The
untitled project reunites the auspices behind
CBS pilot The McCarthys : writer/executive
producer Gallivan, Sony TV and executive
producer Will Gluck and his Sony-based Olive
Bridge Prods. The new project centers on an overworked father dreaming of
being “on vacation all year” who decides to uproot his family from the city and
move them to New Hampshire where they open a group of tourist cottages. And
where they rarely, if ever, feel like they’re on vacation. Gallivan, who hails from
New England (he grew up in the Boston area where he taught middle school
language arts before embarking on a comedy career), will write the script and
will executive produce with Gluck and Olive Bridge’s Richie Schwartz.
