Abby's NBC
NBC

Who: Josh Malmuth (creator); Mike Schur, Pamela Fryman (Executive producers); Natalie Morales, Neil Flynn

What: A sitcom set at a bar with a twist: Abby's is an unlicensed, backyard bar where cell phones are banned, and losing a challenge means drinking a limey, sugary 'not-beer' drink

Why: The premise suggests a new spin on a classic sitcom setup, and have the genius that is Mike Schur onboard should only help in that regard. The cast is solid, and if they can nail the chemistry and requisite warmth then this should be another strong addition to NBC's burgeoning comedy lineup.

Where & When: TBC, spring.
