Though Modern Family has flourished in its popularity both critically and commercially, apparently, there’s still room for another comedy series dealing with the intricacies of the American family. Many networks have and are continuing to explore different angles — Mandy Moore and Marlan Wayans are working with ABC on family-centric shows — but the Association of National Advertisers Alliance for Family Entertainment is going the contest route to find the next great take on the family sitcom.
That’s right, it’s an open call for original, half-hour TV comedy scripts from unrepresented and unaffiliated writers and promises a $5,000 prize and more for the winner. If you think you have a more succinct, original, innovative angle on what’s funny about families in America, check the rules and details comedywritercontest.com before the Oct. 28 deadline.
