NBC has added three
comedy projects to its slate
for next season, untitled
half-hours from Harris
Wittels & Ali Rushfield and
Dan Mazer ( Borat) and
Gifted from David Bickel
(Kickin’ It). The untitled
Harris Wittels project, from Universal TV and 3
Arts, is a family comedy about a well-meaning
slacker who lives with his parents and is in a
constant struggle with his family about how best
to raise his younger brother, a multimillionaire
high school entrepreneur. Wittels is writing with
Rushfield supervising. The two executive produce
with 3 Arts’ Dave Becky, Tom Lassally and Josh
Lieberman.
The Dan Mazer multi- camera project, from 20th TV, Tom Werner’s Good Humor TV and 3 Arts, is described as an adult relationship comedy. CAA-repped Mazer is writing and will exec produce with Werner and Lassally. Werner operates as an independent producer this season after a long tenure at Warner Bros. TV.
The multi-camera comedy Gifted, from Uni TV and studio-based producer David Janollari, is described as “Family Ties meets Big Bang Theory in a family setting.” It features two average, middle class parents who find themselves out of their element raising an intellectually gifted teenage son.

I didn't realize Harris on Parks and Rec was actually named Harris. That guy is freakin' hilarious though.
ReplyDeleteI think the untitled one and gifted will end up competing with each other for the network's affection (or they'll both fail. Either way at least one of them is certainly not going anwyhere...)
ReplyDeleteThe multicam one sounds exactly like a generic multicam sitcom. And NBC in particular hasn't put on the air anything decent on that front since Friends ended.
