ABC has put in development Every Other
Saturday, a single-camera comedy from British writer Neil
Forsyth, Jon Pollack ( Go On, 30 Rock ), Amblin Television
and Universal TV . It revolves around a good-hearted yet
multiply flawed father trying to win over his son after a
divorce, despite only having custody every other Saturday. The show was
created by Forsyth, whom Amblin found in the UK and brought to the States.
The company developed Every Other Saturday internally before introducing
Forsyth to Pollack, with whom Amblin TV toppers Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey
previously worked on another ABC/DreamWorks TV comedy series, Spin City.
Pollock came on board and will supervise and showrun through his overall deal
at Universal TV.

It could be really sweet and with a lot of heart, but also extremely boring.
ReplyDeleteSince I like 30 Rock and Go On (which I think dealt very well with difficult subjects) and Bob Servant was awesome (the only thing from Neil Forsyth that I know), it could actually be very good. I'll wait and see.
Sounds like it has potential storywise, and the people involved are quite a talented bunch. I'll keep an eye out for this one...
