Coming this fall to NBC

[VF21]

I'm going to predict the next BIG comedy hit for NBC. I just saw a promo for "Twenty Good Years"...

It stars John Lithgow and Jeffrey Tambor, two of the most gifted comedic actors in the business today IMHO.

The premise?

This original comedy follows the adventures of two friends who finally realize that life doesn't last forever. John Mason and Jeffrey Pyne are an odd pair to be buddies. They're polar opposites in every way and have a hard time seeing eye to eye. The one thing they can agree on is that they only have twenty good years left to live. In their moment of enlightenment, both men vow to live each day as if it is their last, despite what anyone thinks. It's age meets anarchy and there will be no regrets.

If the writing stands up, this could well be an instant classic.
