NBC has also picked up Mission Control, a Universal TV-produced comedy from Gary Sanchez Productions’ Adam McKay and Will Ferrell. David Hornsby will write and exec produce the pilot, a workplace ensemble said to be in the tone of Anchorman. Set in 1962, it examines what happens when a strong woman butts heads with a macho astronaut in the race to land on the moon.

Hey, that's Emily Deschanel's husband! And it sounds somewhat interesting.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to give it a chance, but the synopsis just gives me an instant semi-cringe reaction. We'll see how the previews look.
ReplyDeleteNBC seem determined to find some comedy hits, I foresee most if not all of their comedies currently on air being cancelled. I just hope the About A Boy does well and is renewed so it can be used as a starting point for the new comedy line up. Also if it does well after The Voice it should be kept there next season to nurture it.
