Two players from NBC’s Thursday comedy block, Parks & Recreation co-star Adam Scott and Community co-executive producer Hilary Winston, have teamed to produce My Son Gomez, a new single-camera comedy project for the network. Meanwhile, actor-turned-writer Ryan Raddatz (This Might Hurt) has sold Change of Plans, a multi-camera comedy to ABC with veteran Marsh McCall as showrunner.
My Son Gomez is in the vein of About a Boy and focuses on a slick womanizing bachelor who takes in a kid with no place to go. The project was created and is being written by Winston through her overall deal at Sony TV and set up at NBC through the blind script deal Scott and his wife Naomi Scott have there. All three will executive produce the project, to which Adam Scott is not attached to star as he is committed to Parks & Rec. The comedy’s 3rd season kicks off on Jan. 20. On the feature side, Adam Scott is negotiations to join Ted, Seth MacFarlane’s comedy for Universal, while Winston is writing an adaptation of her upcoming book for Lorne Michaels and Paramount. The book, My Boyfriend Wrote a Book About Me: And Other Stories I Shouldn’t Share with Acquaintances, Co-workers, Taxi Drivers, Assistants, Job Interviewers, Bikini … and Ex/ Current/ Future Boyfriends But Have, comes out next spring. Adam and Naomi Scott are with CAA and Untitled; Wintson is with ICM.
Change of Plans, from ABC Studios and Mandeville, is about a Midwestern family running a small business out of their living room. Raddatz is with ICM and the Gotham Group, McCall is with CAA.

Chico and the Player?
Yay! NBC producing something totally original, fresh and unique from what they usually do. This sounds quirky,will be a critical darling, and will be emmy bait! Yay to NBC for stepping outside of the box -_-
Low HUT levels, moderate demo rating …. Yup looks like an NBC stinker.
The real question that should be asked:
Why are the nets and studios still buying at this time of the year?
“‘My Son Gomez’… focuses on a slick womanizing bachelor who takes in a kid with no place to go”.
Huh. And this is a COMEDY?
So fresh and original.
Can’t imagine NBC wants to mine the audience of “Two and a Half Men”.
Do we really need another TV show where children speak to adults like the scriptwriters wish they had spoken to adults when they were kids?
To Nellie Andreeva: I object to your characterization “slick womanizing bachelor”.
“Womanizing bachelors” are the bread & butter of comedy. They’re funny, because most men want to be them, and most women say they hate them yet date them.
And what if the “womanizing bachelor” isn’t “slick”? Wouldn’t a bumbling “womanizing bachelor” be even funnier?
By the way, “bachelor” is an archaic word. Try “single”.
And what’s so bad about being a “womanizer” anyway?
Women LOVE womanizers!
Men envy them!
Here’s to “slick womanizing bachelors” and the success of “My Son Gomez”!
Thanks for the idea. My next pilot is going to be about a bumbling womanizer.
Parks and rec so far from funny, community not much better. Can only imagine how hillarious this will be. Yawn
Hilary Winston is annoying as hell.
