The show was created by Marshall Herskovitz and Edward Zwick, creators of “thirtysomething” and “My So-Called Life”, and started on MySpaceTV on Nov 11, as a series of eight-minute episodes..in total 36 shows are planned. The show is expected to begin on NBC in February or March after completing its run on the Web.
