ABC has given the green light to Middle Age Rage, a single-camera comedy pilot from veteran writer-producer Cheryl Holliday, Steven Spielberg’s Amblin TV and ABC Studios. Written by Holliday, Middle Age Rage reflects Holliday’s personal frustration about how the average middle-age woman is treated in the world today. It chronicles what happens when a middle-aged wife and mother is fed up with feeling invisible and begins to speak up and demand the respect she feels she’s earned. Holliday executive produces with Amblin/DreamWorks TV co-presidents Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey. This marks the third pilot order for Holliday and DreamWorks TV. They also landed two cast-contingent pilot pickups in 2006. King Of the Hill alumna Holliday’s credits also include DreamWorks TV’s NBC animated series Father Of The Pride as well as CBS’ Mike & Molly and Still Standing.

What about all of abc cop comedies? Not one going to pilot? They’re not gonna greenligt Issa Rae? All their comedy pilots are gonna be über white again?
Love me some Cheryl Holliday. She makes me laugh so crazy hard. And she’s nice! A rare combo indeed!
Derek, it hasn’t been announced yet, but Cheryl will be writing all of ABC’s cop projects. Congratulations, Cheryl! You are the best and deserve tons of success.
Cheryl is one of the funniest people I have ever met in my life. I am so excited for her and this.
Cheryl is not only insanely brilliant, but brilliantly insane, as anyone who has ever invited her to punch up their pilot, only to have her launch into her “Clogging for the Babies” mock-pro-life character on their stage can attest. Bravo, CH. You’re not the female Les Firestein, Les Firestein is the male you.
Cheryl is wildly talented. Happy for her success.
Glad to see this happen. Women are getting more work in half hour than hour.
ABC has picked up only 2 one hour pilots by women out of 11 ordered.
NBC has picked up ZERO one hour pilots by women out of the 8 ordered.
Fox is out of control. A family of assassins by John Welles? Really?
Cheryl is fantastically talented and fantastic. Cannot wait to see it!
Cheryl is a tiny magical creature. And if you leave your shoes out overnight she will repair them.
It’s about time we were represented on network television. Our website, generationfabulous.com, aims to do that for midlife women online.
Great choice! Cheryl is one of the funniest and most brilliant comedy writers evahhhh!
Dance for the babies, Cheryl! Dance for the babies!
Strike that.
Clog for the babies, Cheryl! Clog for the babies!
Great news & offering Cheryl a wealth of backstories from our five years posting on MidLifeBloggers.com.
Finally! Can’t wait to see how this plays out. So many stories out there in the streets of middle age! Betterafter50.com is an online magazine chronicling those stories, and providing women with inspiration for “what’s next.”
I cannot wait to watch Cheryl’s creation!
