With shows such as Brothers & Sisters, Modern Family and the soon to be dearly missed Ugly Betty already part of its line-up, ABC has been the most gay-friendly network on television for quite some time. And that record of gay-inclusiveness is only set to increase if the network picks up the new comedy pilot It Takes a Village.
Written by Casey Johnson and David Windsor (Greek), ITAV stars Leah Remini (The King of Queens) and Christopher Sieber (It’s All Relative) as two exes trying to raise their 15-year-old son while also navigating their post-divorce romantic relationships. And in the case of Sieber’s character Howard, that relationship is with his new boyfriend Scott played by Cheyenne Jackson.
ABC has recently found a great deal of success with their return to the sitcom format including The Middle, Cougar Town, and, of course, Modern Family. So what might It Takes A Village look like? Would it be more like MF, a traditional family sitcom about untraditional families? Or might it be skew more toward NBC’s satirical comedies such as The Office or the off-the-wall 30 Rock?
