NBC台2012年秋季新剧《新常态》由著名制片人、午夜已经有两部热播美剧（《欢乐合唱团》和《美国恐怖故事》）的瑞恩·墨菲担任主创。《新常态》为半小时喜剧，午夜讲述一对男同夫夫和他们的代孕女住同一屋檐下、迎接和抚养小孩的故事。由贾斯汀·巴萨和安德鲁·兰内尔斯饰演的同志伴侣决定抚养自己的小孩，他们将代孕妈妈锁定在餐馆女侍、负债累累的单亲妈妈格罗莉（乔治雅·金 Georgia King 饰）身上，后者怀孕后搬入和他们一起生活，从而给这个另类家庭增添了诸多欢笑和烦恼。宗教团体在开播前曾呼吁抵制，认为该剧扭曲了“正常的家庭价值观”，但大量调查表明“同志也可以组建家庭”已成为美国民意主流，因此《新常态》所反映的“新常态”还会继续发展和壮大。本剧由瑞恩·墨菲和《欢乐合唱团》编剧艾丽·阿德勒共同打造，由二十世纪电视公司负责制作，是NBC在2012年开发和预订的第13部情景喜剧。
回复 :Green Wing and Free Agents star Stephen Mangan is to play the lead role in BBC4's adaptation of the late Douglas Adams Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.Mangan will be joined by Darren Boyd as his sidekick Richard MacDuff and Cold Feet and Friends actor Helen Baxendale, as MacDuff's girlfriend Susan.Adapted by the Bafta-winning writer Howard Overman – who is also behind Misfits, Vexed and Merlin – Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency follows the exploits of Adams's chaotic character as he uses his unusual methods to solve crimes.Mangan said: "I've been a fan of Douglas Adams ever since the Hitchhiker's radio series which I used to record as a child and listen to over and over again in my bedroom. It's such a thrill to now be playing one of his brilliant characters."Dirk is a chaotic, anarchic force of nature with a totally unique take on the world. He is described as 'lazy, untidy, dismissive and unreliable'. I've absolutely no idea why they thought I'd be right for the role."The Dirk Gently books have formed the basis of a play and a BBC Radio 4 series but have never before been filmed for TV.Adams's agent, Ed Victor, said: "For all the years I represented the late, great Douglas Adams, the most substantial frustration for both of us was that we couldn't get films made either of Hitchhiker or Dirk."Douglas once said, memorably, that 'getting a film made in Hollywood was like trying to cook a steak by having a bunch of people come into the room and breathe on it'. Well, we did eventually get a film made in Hollywood of Hitchhiker and, tragically, Douglas didn't live to see it. Nor will he see this adaptation of Dirk – but it's worth bearing in mind that Douglas always thought Dirk would make a better film than Hitchhiker and I feel sure that this new TV drama with a terrific script by Howard Overman will prove his point."Shooting begins this week in Bristol on the 60-minute drama, which is being made by ITV Studios in association with the Welded Tandem Picture Company.The Dirk Gently production is to be directed by Damon Thomas – who also directed BBC4 drama The First Men in the Moon – and will air early next year.
