ABC Announces New Comedy

BURBANK: ABC’s new half-hour comedy series Surviving Suburbia, starring Bob Saget and Cynthia Stevenson, will launch on April 6 at 9:30 p.m., following Dancing with the Stars.

Saget (Full House) and Stevenson (Men in Trees) play Steve and Anne Patterson, a couple who have been married for 20 years, have two kids and a house in the suburbs. All the while Steve maintains a rather cynical point of view of family, friends, neighbors and society. The show is produced by Media Rights Capital. Kevin Abbott (Roseanne) and Acme Productions’ Michael Hanel and Mindy Schultheis (Rita Rocks) are executive producers. Thirteen episodes have been shot.
