TBS Orders New Comedy Series

ATLANTA: TBS has greenlit the buddy comedy Men at Work, starring Danny Masterson (That ’70s Show, Yes Man) and James Lesure (Las Vegas), among others.

TBS has ordered 10 episodes of the comedy from Sony Pictures Television and Fanfare. Men at Work, which also stars Michael Cassidy (The O.C.) and Adam Busch (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), is set to premiere in the summer of 2012. It was created by Breckin Meyer (Robot Chicken, Franklin & Bash), who is executive producing with Fanfare’s Jamie Tarses (Happy Endings, Franklin & Bash, My Boys) and Julia Franz. Meyer wrote the pilot, which was directed by Mark Cendrowski (The Big Bang Theory). Men at Work is about four men who work together at a magazine, serving as each other’s wingmen as they navigate work, friendship and women.

"Men at Work is an extremely funny adult comedy that mines humor from the unique, occasionally wrong ways men behave and interact as they face the challenges of life in the 21st century," said Michael Wright, the executive VP and head of programming for TBS, TNT and Turner Classic Movies. "We’re thrilled to have these guys in our corner."
