Courteney Cox’s hit series Friends ran on NBC for 10 years, chronicling the lives of 6 friends over a decade. Now Cox and her ex/producing partner, David Arquette, are developing Ten Years, an ensemble comedy that explores the ups and downs of relationships among a group of friends spanning 10 years. It is one of 2 projects ABC Studios has sold to NBC. The other is a drama from writer Daniel Taplitz and producers Ian Sanders and Kim Moses. Written by Howard J. Morris (According To Jim), Ten Years tracks the ebb and flow of a 10 year relationship for a recently separated couple in the center of a group of friends and family. Morris, Cox and Arquette are executive producing. Inspired by a true story, The Next Insanely Great Thing is set in the last company town in America whose suburban townspeople agree to become test subjects for a high tech company’s social media experiments, with unexpected, hilarious and emotionally gripping results. Taplitz, Sanders and Moses are executive producing.

Sounds like a replacement for Whitney
Wouldn’t this have to last 10 years to work?
Good Point! And these days, most new shows don’t even last 10 weeks, let alone 10 years!
The drama is an interesting idea.
what possess’ courtney to believe that she had any producing talent…the fact that she was an actress on a hit show she did not create…Please…and David…These are purely headline deals…with No substance…TV needs Real Writer Producers with a Vision…Not some old actress who thinks she is a producer
cougar town is excellent, and has some of the best writers. i would agree with you if she was writing and directing all of these things, but producing is a different animal. she’s involved in the creative process, but she is not an encroaching force in that arena. moreover, her involvement is mostly because she is funding the projects (to an extent). so, slow down charlie.
like that drama idea a lot, hope it’s executed well.
Howard Morris is a great writer. In case of emergency is one of the all time best scripts.
Sounds like NBC is bringing back Must See TV comedies.
They’ve got Whitney, Chelsea, Dane Cook, Snoop, and now Monica from Friends.
