'Cheers' Producer, 'Van Wilder' Director Land Blue-Collar Comedy With TBS
TBS has ordered a comedy pilot from former "Cheers" co-executive producer Rob Long and "Van Wilder" director Walt Becker (pictured), the network said Friday.
The pilot, "Do It Yourself," will center on Nick, a 20-something math teacher who's forced into the blue-collar world after he's laid off and takes a job at a big-box home supply store.
