Breaking - NBC To Debut Several Deadpan, Laugh-Track Free Comedies

Shows to be Centered Around Wacky but Lovable Characters

Burbank, CA (AP) – Hoping to capitalize off of its popular comedies The Office, 30 Rock, Parks and Recreations, and Community, NBC has decided to launch several new sitcoms this fall that the network hopes will build on the momentum those series have created.

Single Camera, a television show about a struggling photography magazine, will be shot in a similar style as The Office and Parks and Recreations. Various characters will alternately stare into the camera and glance at each other flirtatiously while giving seemingly off-the-cuff interviews. The show is slated to have one serious character, his attractive love interest, a slapstick comedian, and a motley crew of adorable artists.

The network also announced Save Me, a series that will follow the lives of multiple washed-up comedians whose careers were believed to be over in 2002. Chris Kattan will play the lead, but the rest of the cast reportedly is made up of a serious character, her attractive love interest, a slapstick comedian, and a motley crew of adorable artists.

Tuesdays at 9:30 will be the new home of Tapestry, a show about a carpet-makers union. The sitcom will be a melancholic but humorous look at a group of laborers in Duluth, Minnesota. Leaked plot details indicate that the first episode will hint at future drama by having star-crossed characters make eye contact before a shaky camera abruptly cuts away.
