TWO NEW NBC COMEDIES FROM PARKS & REC ALUMNI

Friday, May 11th, 2018

Three years after Parks and Recreation wrapped up, NBC has commissioned to series two new sitcoms executive produced by its leading lights. Its co-creator Michael Schur – also responsible for Brooklyn Nine-Nine and The Good Place – is helming Abby’s, which stars Natalie Morales as the barkeep at an idiosyncratic and unlicensed backyard watering hole.

Meanwhile, Amy Poehler, who starred in Parks & Rec as indefatigable official Leslie Knope, is the executive producer on I Feel Bad. Sarayu Blue leads this single-camera comedy, playing Emet, a woman struggling to balance her obligations as wife, mother, boss, daughter, and friend. Aisling Bea and Paul Adelstein also feature.

As the Director of Operations APAC, I wanted to say a huge thank you for Global Listings’ work, for getting us to launch on Apple+ TV. Throughout the whole process GL have been extremely accommodating, understanding and efficient in working under continually changing guidelines. For our operations team it is a huge benefit to work with a partner that we know will respond quickly and positively to achieve a successful outcome. Many thanks again.

We use both the Global Listings press schedules (in Word) and their XML files. The programme descriptions are rather good and not too long, which is helpful. We use their text verbatim and import it direct into our database.
