Broken Lizard Heads To TBS, ‘Super Troopers’ Writers To Create Pilot Project

The oh, so hilarious minds who brought us Super Troopers, Beerfest and the hopeful 2015 release of Super Troopers 2, Broken Lizard, are now heading to a different (and often more profitable) medium: television. The comedy group, who have become uber famous as a result of their films, are now developing a pilot for TBS, as Variety reports.

The series, titled Quality Time, will seemingly follow the comedians as they face the many minor and major challenges of adulthood, like raising children, all the while attempting to hold onto the glory days of their youth –– the days of no responsibility with nothing but the future ahead.

While we know the show is being written and produced by most of the Broken Lizard team – Kevin Heffernan, Steve Lemme, Paul Soter and Erik Stolhanske – more details on Quality Time have yet to be revealed. Jay Chandrasekhar, who directs many of the group's projects, has not yet been mentioned in the creation of the series.

Quality Time marks one of the many steps the Turner Broadcasting Network is taking into morphing itself into a solid ground for comedy. The network brought Conan O'Brien onboard following his famous Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television tour from a while back and has since picked up a number of pilots from the CONAN crew, alongside other successes such as Sullivan & Son, Cougar Town (which was originally cancelled by NBC), and a number of game shows including Deal With It, Funniest Wins and CeeLo Green's The Good Life.
