TV Land Orders Lopez Starring George Lopez; Bravo Orders 2nd Season of Odd Mom Out
TV Land continues to expand its slate of original, contemporary comedies with the series pickup of Lopez, starring and executive produced by renowned stand-up comedian and actor George Lopez. The half hour single camera serialized comedy has a 12 episode order and will premiere in 2016. John Altschuler and Dave Krinsky (Silicon Valley, King Of The Hill) will write and executive produce the series. Michael Rotenberg (It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia) of 3 Arts Entertainment and Troy Miller (Arrested Development) will also executive produce. The comedy, revolving around America's most successful Hispanic American comedian, explores how George struggles between his two worlds and crises – often of his own making. Too rich to go back to his working class, Latino roots, and too "brown" to feel comfortable in his affluent celebrity life, being George Lopez comes with many problems. Lopez's groundbreaking comedy George Lopez, which aired on ABC from 2002-2007, is a consistent hit on TV Land's sister network Nick at Nite.
Bravo Media has greenlit a second season of its critically-acclaimed comedy Odd Mom Out starring Jill Kargman, Abby Elliott, Andy Buckley, KK Glick, Sean Kleier and Joanna Cassidy. The scripted, half-hour series is created by and stars acclaimed author Jill Kargman playing a satirical version of herself as she navigates the treacherous and elite eco-system of New York's Upper East Side, and the uber-wealthy mommy clique inhabiting this fantastically outrageous domain. Odd Mom Out recently wrapped its first 10 episode season on August 3. Odd Mom Out marks Bravo's highest rated new series launch in 2015. Across season one, the show averaged 958,000 total viewers and 568,000 P18-49 in Nielsen Live+3, which is 42 percent higher than the cable comedy new series average among P18-49. In addition, Odd Mom Out stands as 2015's most upscale new scripted comedy series on ad-supported cable as well as ranking higher than any other new Bravo series for Video On Demand transactions.
