Get ready for a thrilling new comedy series that's about to take the TV world by storm! The highly anticipated PI comedy from Dan Goor and Luke Del Tredici has officially received the green light from NBC!
This exciting project, co-created by the brilliant minds behind Brooklyn Nine-Nine, has been one of the hottest comedy pitches in the TV marketplace. NBC recognized its potential and acquired the rights last fall, with a full commitment to producing a pilot episode. And now, the wait is over!
But here's where it gets controversial... The studio behind the project, Universal Television, a division of NBCUniversal, applied for and received a significant tax break. The California Film Commission granted a whopping $1.4 million tax credit to shoot the pilot in Los Angeles, ensuring the show's chances of success. Some might question whether this tax incentive was necessary for such an acclaimed project, but it certainly didn't hurt!
And this is the part most people miss... The show's creators, Goor and Del Tredici, have crafted a unique workplace comedy set in the world of private detectives. They proudly proclaim that their series continues the legacy of iconic Los Angeles private eyes, from Philip Marlowe to their very own show. It's a bold statement, and one that will surely spark debate among fans of the genre.

This exciting news comes as NBC has ordered four pilots this week, including three dramas and the highly anticipated Goor/Del Tredici comedy. With a potential lineup of eight pilots this season, NBC is pulling out all the stops to bring fresh and diverse content to viewers.
So, what do you think? Are you excited for this new PI comedy? Will it live up to the legacy of Philip Marlowe? And is a tax break necessary for a project with such acclaimed creators? We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments! Let's discuss and debate the future of television comedy!
