30 Rock creator/co-showrunner Tina Fey and
co-showrunner Robert Carlock are back in business
together and with NBC, backing another female-centered
workplace project by a young female comedy writer. NBC
has bought an untitled comedy from 30 Rock writer-
producer Colleen McGuinness, which is being executive
produced by Fey and Carlock through Universal Television, where both are
based. Written and executive produced by McGuinness, the project, said to be
in the vein of Cheers , is a character-driven workplace comedy where a young
woman in search of reconnecting with her father finds a new home and family
on Fire Island. This marks the first project from Fey’s Little Stranger production
company under the four-year deal she inked with Uni TV last fall.

Wait what?
ReplyDeleteFemale centered workplace project, Cheers style (is there a bar? is there a Norm?), with daddy issues (wasn't it a workplace comedy?), new home and family (the whole my coworkers are my family all over again?) set on an Island?
I am officially confused.
I like Tina Fey, but this does not sound very promising.
Well that's why its still in development, the final output if it does get picked up could be totally different
ReplyDeleteI think "confused" is the right word for it....
