Fox to Develop PARTRIDGE FAMILY-Like Musical Comedy

Fox has ordered a comedy in the style of "The Partridge Family," according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Fox has handed out a script order to "An American Band," a single-camera comedy about the harmonic and discordant adventures of the Wyldes, a diverse and dysfunctional Northern California family that can't get a single thing right with each other, except for the music they've been making for the past 25 years as a multigenerational family band.

The script will be written by Jay Lacopo and he will executive produce alongside the Jackal Group's Gail Berman and Joe Earley. The comedy is a co-production between 20th Century FOX TV and the Jackal Group.

The comedy is similiar "The Partridge Family," which was based on the real-life musical family The Cowsills and their band in the 1960s and '70s.
