Levitan, Lloyd land project at ABC

August 27, 2008 ABC is teaming up with comedy veterans Steven Levitan and Christopher Lloyd on a single-camera project that follows three American families as told through the eyes of a Dutch documentary filmmaker. The untitled comedy, which has received a put pilot commitment with a significant penalty, will be produced by 20th Century Fox TV, where Levitan and Lloyd have an overall deal. The concept evolved to feature three families: one comprised of a working dad, stay-at-home mom and two kids; another that includes a 60-year-old man who becomes a stepfather after marrying a Latina who is 30 years his junior; and the third, a gay couple who have just adopted a Vietnamese baby.
