After lengthy negotiations, CBS has closed a deal with Sony
Pictures TV to redevelop the Jim Gaffigan/Peter Tolan comedy ,
originally developed last season when it went to pilot. Unlike
another CBS single-camera family comedy pilot from last
season, The McCarthys (also from Sony TV), which is being re-
piloted as a multi-camera sitcom, the Jim Gaffigan project will
remain single-camera. Co-written by Gaffigan and Tolan, the
project, inspired by Gaffigan’s real life, stars the comedian as
the happily married and harried NYC father of five as he is in real life. I hear
only Gaffigan from the cast of the original pilot is returning as the producers are
taking a new look. Tolan and Gaffigan are executive producing with Michael
Wimer and Alex Murray for Sony TV and Fedora Entertainment.
