Marry Me - NBC buys Relationship Comedy from David Caspe, Seth Gordon and Jamie Tarses with Pilot production commitment

In what is believed to be the biggest commitment for a comedy project so far this development season, Marry Me , a single-camera half-hour from Happy Endings creator David Caspe, just landed at NBC . The Sony Pictures TV project — which has Seth Gordon, who exited Horrible Bosses 2 today, attached to direct and executive produce and Jamie Tarses to executive produce — sparked a bidding war when it was taken out two weeks ago. It ultimately commanded a pilot production commitment in a deal which I hear also includes a full license fee and series penalty.  Said to be in the vein of Mad About You, Marry Me centers on a young couple who get engaged, something they quickly realize is harder than it looks. Caspe, who is writing and exec producing, as well as Gordon and Tarses, are all under overall deals at Sony TV.
