"The Ryan Murphy-Ali Adler’s single-camera comedy pilot The New Normal...received series orders from NBC. Co-written by Murphy and Adler and directed by Murphy, The New Normal is described as a heartwarming comedy about a blended family of a gay couple, Bryan (Andrew Rannells) and David (Justin Bartha), and a cash-strapped waitress and mother of one Goldie (Georgia King), who becomes a surrogate to help them have a child. The New Normal also has been eyed for an early launch after the Olympics in August."
Note that last sentence - an August start means he'll be gone pretty quick. Congrats to him!
2ND UPDATE: ‘New Normal’, ‘Revolution’ & ‘Save Me’ Picked Up To Series At NBC

Josh Gad's pilot 1600 PENN is also about to receive a series order, coincidentally also on NBC.
EDIT: Pardon my grammatical faux pas.

Posted: 5/7/12 at 8:05pmSeems like this show has been in the works for some time. Is Sean Hayes still a producer?

Posted: 5/7/12 at 8:05pmI think the thing here is that the word ironic was used incorrectly in a sentence. The meaning was never in question.

Not a surprise, but we can officially say bye bye to Josh Gad.

Posted: 5/7/12 at 10:45pmlove Josh but sad he is doing a show with Jenna Elfman....I boycott all her work ever since she said "AIDS is a state of mind, and not a disease" and can be cured by scientology. Hope they replace her for the fall.

Posted: 5/8/12 at 1:09amI think 1600 is going to be at midseason, if so that doesn't necessarily mean they will both be out at the same time.

Posted: 5/8/12 at 4:43pmThe late summer, maybe? I wonder how many times they'll be absent for advanced press, though.

Posted: 5/8/12 at 4:49pmI'm seeing it in two weeks, so I'm guessing they should still be there for it.
