The pilot was written by Emily Spivey (a writer for Parks and Recreationand, previously, SNL), who will executive produce along with Michaels.

NBC also picked up Bent, from writer and executive producer Tad Quill (Scrubs), a single-camera romantic comedy about a recently divorced "type A" mom who tries her best not to fall for the sexy, surfer-dude contractor redoing her kitchen.
