The Griswold family is heading to HBO Max. WarnerMedia’s upcoming streaming service has put in development The Griswolds, a half-hour single camera comedy based on National Lampoon’s Vacation films, from writer Tim Hobert (The Middle), Johnny Galecki and his Alcide Bava Productions and Warner Bros. TV, where Galecki and Alcide Bava are under a deal.
Written by Hobert, The Griswolds, based on Warner Bros’ Vacation films, brings the iconic family home from vacation and explores their daily lives in the suburbs of modern-day Chicago.
National Lampoon’s Vacation film series is among the assets available to WarnerMedia-owned HBO Max for mining of projects. The five-film series (1983-2015) is based on John Hughes’ short story Vacation ’58 that was originally published by National Lampoon magazine. It revolves around the misadventures of the Griswold family, whose attempts to enjoy vacations and holidays are plagued with non-stop disasters and strangely embarrassing predicaments.

NBC is jumping into the world of esports with a new series they are producing called The Squad. This is a multicamera comedy being written by Big Bang Theory writer Anthony Del Broccolo. Big Bang Theory star Johnny Galecki has also recently joined the series as an executive producer.
The Squad revolves around “a new group of friends (and sometimes enemies) who find companionship and common ground in their mutual love of esports. The potential series explores what it means to finally find ‘your tribe’ after years of feeling like an outsider.”
This sounds like it could be a fun series project and one that could find a lot of success if handled right. The esports community is huge! There is such a massive market for a show like this, and as long as they handle the community right and deliver a solid story, script, and characters, it should succeed.

Never let be said that Bill Prady wasted his chance to explore the awkwardness of his life as a young adult.
The co-creator of Warner Bros. TV’s “The Big Bang Theory” mined his experiences working as a computer programmer in the early 1980s to launch the powerhouse CBS sitcom that bows out Thursday after 12 seasons. For Prady, the finale represents the end of an era, in more ways than one.
“‘Big Bang’ began as the story of me in my early 20s, when I was in the computer business in New York and failing at romantic relationships,” Prady tells Variety. “It’s the story of that time in my life and I knew I’d get one shot to tell those stories. I don’t think I get to come back and re-explore that time again. For me, [the finale] winds up the chance I had to talk about what that time was like.
