Wonder if this is going to be another stab at How To Get Away With Murder featuring Halle Berry instead.

‘Modern Family’ EP Danny Zuker Sells Comedy Set Behind Scenes Of Family Sitcom To ABC As Put Pilot
by Nellie Andreeva

“This is a classic example of writing what you know,” Modern Family executive producer Danny Zuker says about his new comedy project Family Show, which has landed at ABC with a put pilot commitment.

The single-camera project, from 20th Century Fox TV, is a workplace/family comedy “about the imperfect people who strive to be half as good as the perfect TV family they create every week for America.” Said to be in the vein of The Larry Sanders Show, Family Show will be set behind the scenes of a fictional family sitcom, following crew members on set and at home. Zuker, who has been on Modern Family since after the pilot, will write and executive produce.

The genesis of the idea for Family Show stems from a parenting moment that happened during the second season of Modern Family. One night, shortly after he and his twin teenage daughters had watched a new episode of the ABC comedy, Zuker was grounding one of them, taking away her computer to screams of “You are the worst.” But then, “in a moment of exasperation”, his daughter added a new wrinkle to the typical rebel teenage girl rant. “How can you write such a great dad on the show but can’t be a good dad in real life?” Zuker immediately thought, “That may be a show.”

The sitcom within a sitcom won’t be modeled after Modern Family. As for the characters and events depicted on Family Show, they are not based on Zuker’s experience on Modern Family either, Zuker says. “Modern Family is a very functional place where people get along quite well,” he said. “But I’ve worked on other comedy series before that weren’t that functional, so I’ll apply some of those experiences and will make stuff up.”

This marks Zuker’s first development since joining Modern Family in 2009. He had previously worked with Modern Family co-creator/executive producer Steve Levitan on Levitan’s workplace NBC comedy Just Shoot Me!, and his resume includes a slew of other sitcom gigs, including a stint on ABC’s Roseanne. On Modern Family, Zuker has shared in the 20th TV-produced series’ five best comedy Emmy Awards.

Family Show stems from a new overall deal 20th TV inked last year with Zuker, along with pacts locking in a couple of other Modern Family executive producers, including Paul Corrigan & Brad Walsh who also had been on Modern Family since the very beginning. Corrigan and Walsh just sold single-camera comedy Workplace to CBS with a put pilot commitment.

For Zuker, repped by CAA and Jeanne Newman, Modern Family has somewhat mirrored his family dynamic as the show’s teen co-stars, Ariel Winter, Rico Rodriguez and Nolan Gould all are the same age as his own daughters, 17.

“It’s been fun to watch the kids who make me money and the kids who cost me money grow up at the same time,” Zuker quipped. His girls heading to college next fall may make working on Family Show a little easier, should it go to series. “When they yell at me for putting their lives on screen, they’ll be far away.”

I'd watch.

[THUNDERSTRIKE]

Beauty and the Beast finally cancelled.

it gets officially cancelled after the third season, but it gets a fourth season, as well, before the cancellation goes into effect?... how f***ed up is THAT?... and does anyone REALLY care?...

 

[Specter313]

it gets officially cancelled after the third season, but it gets a fourth season, as well, before the cancellation goes into effect?... how f***ed up is THAT?... and does anyone REALLY care?...

It's like close to finishing filming of season 4, so that's the end of it after.

 

[Sawyer]

it gets officially cancelled after the third season, but it gets a fourth season, as well, before the cancellation goes into effect?... how f***ed up is THAT?

Umm.... not all that f***ed up, considering a fourth season was ordered months ago.

... and does anyone REALLY care?...

You're caring enough to remark about it, so yeah, I guess.

 

[THUNDERSTRIKE]

Umm.... not all that f***ed up, considering a fourth season was ordered months ago.

You're caring enough to remark about it, so yeah, I guess.

I don't give a s**t one way or another... I'm just remarking on it, because to be honest, I wasn't even really AWARE that a third season came and went... and I'm sure other viewers weren't even really aware, either, hence I just happened to remark about it... don't read into something that ain't there...

'My Best Friend's Wedding' TV Follow-Up Set at ABC

If TV is gonna keep up with this remake trend, I'd appreciate if they were remaking s*** I'd actually give a s*** about watching.

Rosewood - Gets Full Season Order
http://www.spoilertv.com/2015/10/rosewood-gets-full-season-order.html

 

[wiegeabo]

Kind of surprised Rosewood made it.

It's not bad. But it's just a buddy cop show. Perhaps Morris Chestnut constantly being shirtless has something to do with it...

 

[Mace Dolex]

Just finished the new NBC sitcom Truth Be Told and wow is it awful.

 

[batdude]

Yeah, I thought it was going to be MPG's comeback, but man, One does not want to see Zack Morris whine about a baby sitter.

 

[Mace Dolex]

Yeah, I thought it was going to be MPG's comeback, but man, One does not want to see Zack Morris whine about a baby sitter.

And the most stupid of all is seeing Mark and his friend going gaga over the hot babysitter when they're married to two women that are equally attractive.

Extant - Cancelled by CBS + Developing new show with Halle Berry

Can't say I'm surprised. I've been monitoring the ratings over at Bourgy.com

 

[Quasar]

Not surprised, but The Whispers has been cancelled.

 

[Sawyer]

Dr. Ken Gets Full Season Order

Great job, America.

 

[The Shape]

Dr. Ken Gets Full Season Order

Great job, America.

That's probably due to you watching it endlessly live, on DVR, and online.

Great job, Sawyer.

 

[Sawyer]

You can accuse me of many things, but don't you EVER accuse me of watching this type of garbage!

 

[TheVileOne]

What's the word on Muppets?

 

[batdude]

Don't know, but I really wish they would move it out of the same timeslot as the Flash. I really want both of them to last a while.

 

[Teelie]

I've seen Dr Ken and I don't get the rage against it and I'm surprised it is getting a full season order. I don't hate it like Sawyer does but it is not what I would call Ken Jeong's best effort either.

 

[Rowsdower!]

it gets officially cancelled after the third season, but it gets a fourth season, as well, before the cancellation goes into effect?... how f***ed up is THAT?... and does anyone REALLY care?...

Wait... there was a Beauty and the Beast show? And it lasted four seasons?

Was it a remake of the Ron Perlman/Linda Hamilton show where Beauty and the Beast solve mysteries? lol
