NBC has added an African American comedy to its development slate.
"Ordinary People," from "America's Next Top Model" co-developer Kenya Barris, is described as "Mad About You" meets "The Cosby Show," according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Inspired by Barris' real-life experiences, the sitcom revolves around Kevin and Kelsey Whitmore, a married couple in their late 20s who are fast-tracked professionals with four kids. After spending most of his time on the road as a Rolling Stone music reporter, Kevin is promoted to columnist and works from home, a change that requires adjustment for everyone in the family.
