Okay, maybe it really was Tim's podcast. He mentioned quarterlife and I just got this email:
Series Pick Up Alert
Network: NBC
Genre: Drama
Title: quarterlife
Studio: quarterlife, inc
Commitment: Series Pick Up (6 Episodes)
Auspices: Marshall Herskovitz (D-Pilot, EP, W-Pilot), Edward Zwick (EP, W-Pilot), Joshua Gummersall (P N/W)
Logline: A one-hour series created from episodes of the MySpaceTV.com series that takes on the crucial years between 20 and 30, when so many of life’s important decisions are made. The “quarterlife” series tells the ongoing stories of six creative people in their twenties. As with Herskovitz’s and Zwick’s earlier television series, at the center of “quarterlife” is a commitment to realism, the recognition of universal human themes through the truthful depiction of the way young people speak, work, think, love, argue, and just goof around. Starting with Dylan, a young woman whose overly truthful video blog (on quarterlife.com of course) spills the closest secrets of her friends, the show’s characters – filmmakers Danny and Jed, actress-bartender Lisa, geek-extraordinaire Andy, and still-tied-to-her-parents Debra – chart the sometimes excruciating, sometimes comic, often emotional experiences that comprise coming of a! ge as part of the digital generation.
