Two single-camera projects, one from Neal Moritz’s Original Film and one from Shawn Levy and Marty Adelstein’s 21 Laps/Adelstein Prods., landed sales after getting interest from multiple networks.
Original Film’s The Singles went to ABC with penalty attached. Written/co-executive produced by David Holden (Accidentally on Purpose), the comedy/dating show is based on David Holden’s life experiences when his entire family were all single…all at the same time. He returned home from the Peace Corp, and found out his mom and dad got divorced, his sister was left at the altar, his brother was focused on being alternative and couldn’t keep a girl, and he himself, a gay man in his mid-20s was trying to find the perfect man. Instead of the family being known as the Holdens, people ended up calling them “The Singles.” Sony TV is producing with Moritz and Vivian Cannon executive producing and Holden co-executive producing.
21 Laps/Adelstein Prods.’ Gorilla Time went to Fox. It is an ensemble comedy about a group of friends in their mid thirties who’ve each hit a crossroads in their lives and embark on the adventure of trying to reinvent themselves. No holds barred. Eating what they want, drinking what they want and sleeping with who they want. Basically like a Gorilla. Stacy Traub (Notes From the Underbelly) and Hayes Jackson (According to Jim) will write the script as well as executive produce alongside Levy, Adelstein and Becky Clements for 20th TV. 21 Laps/Adelstein, which just turned one, has its first series on the air, the upcoming ABC comedy Last Man Standing starring Tim Allen.





More white guys with deals.
The dude’s name is HAYES JACKSON, and you don’t even consider that he may be black? At least be a proper racist!
Btw, he’s whiter than Rick Perry. But still…
Only a bitter moron could read an article about a gay man and a woman, both very talented, selling network shows and post a comment like this. Congrats, you’ve reached a new level of idiocy!
Is it April 1?
I take that back. Makes me sound racist.
Hey, Fake Lisa
Speak for yourself, you coward.
Back when minorities and women couldn’t vote and the minorities and women said something like , “More white guys voting again”, was that considered racist? Or was it just discriminated peeps speaking up?
Real Lisa
Wait a minute, today everybody votes. What am I saying!! What I meant was there are no women or minorities on tv today. Whew!!
Real Lisa
Adelstein has been lighting things up.
His old partner must be furious.
You’re right. Should have said jews with deals.
Hahahahahaha PASS.
This is your reply to everything. What are your great ideas that nobody seems to want? I know quite a few minorities that get work just because they are minorities so quit your complaining. A good idea is a good idea no matter what the color of the creator.
Yay, Stacy and Hayes!!!!!! Deserved.
Personally, I’m happy to see Hayes Jackson mentioned. It’s about time that the liberal elite running Hollywood let a Tea Partier into their club.
Congrats to Vivian, Neal and the Original Film crew! (and no, I don’t work there)
Neil Moritz. The king of comedy. A regular Apatow. LOL.
“The Change Up”. “Evan Almighty”. “Green Hornet”. “Saving Silverman”. This show may be a lot of things, but it won’t be funny. Maybe he should stick to fast cars.
Dave Holden is a very funny! So glad to hear.
Way to go, Holden! Blam!
Hayes Jackson likes imported beer and Gelsons.
