Some shows embrace the season wholeheartedly, characters in good spirits and enjoying the trappings of the season; others skew a little darker, bringing the more oppressive, burdensome side of the holidays to life. Either way, Christmas episodes tend to demonstrate the strengths of our favourite series, and it’s long been a festive ritual of mine to wheel out old DVD sets and settle back for a few favourites during December.

Updated: CBS has bought a multi-camera comedy from brothers Tim and Michael Hobert. The project, produced by Warner Bros Television, is about a newly married man who happens to be from a big family… he just doesn’t know it yet. It stems from Hoberts’ real-life experiences. Tim and Mike Hobert come from a large family — they are the middle and the youngest of five brothers. The two will co-write, with Tim Hobert executive producing and Mike Hobert co-executive producing. Last year, the two sold another semi-autobiographical comedy through Warner Bros TV, which was based on their experience working together. (Mike started off as an assistant for his 12-years-older writer-producer brother.) UTA-repped Tim Hobert, former executive producer/showrunner on the Fox comedy series ‘Til Death, serves as co-executive producer on the ABC/Wbtv comedy The Middle. Meanwhile, ABC has bought a comedy from Nastaran Dibai (Retired At 35, According To Jim). Inspired by personal experience,...

[1] As with film, not every television project that enters development actually makes it to the screen -- but sighing over what could've been is a task for some other day. Today, our curiosity is piqued by some of the more interesting-sounding series in the works, including shows by Transformers helmer Michael Bay (how's he gonna fit all those explosions on a tiny screen?) and Dark Knight writer David Goyer. I don't know that I'd actually want to follow all of these series if they actually made it to air, but I'll be keeping an eye on them to see how they pan out. After the jump: Starz orders Da Vinci's Demons, by Dark Knight writer David Goyer Michael Bay will exec produce Outsiders for The CW NBC buys a new comedy by Scrubs writer Tim Hobert and the guy who played intern Lonnie on same Showtime buys a new comedy from the Farrelly Bros.

This is a case of art imitating life times two: NBC has bought a single-camera comedy written by brothers Tim and Micheal Hobert based on their experience working together. The single-camera comedy, produced by Warner Bros TV, centers on Mike, a twentysomething man who lands a dream job as the assistant to a commercial director — his older brother Tim — only to learn that his job is mostly about keeping his brother’s hectic home life running smoothly. The project stems from a script deal Tim Hobert had with Warner Bros TV, where he works as a co-executive producer on the studio’s ABC comedy The Middle. It is inspired by real-life events. Years ago, comedy writer-producer Tim Hobert had a development deal with NBC that provided a little money for him to hire an assistant. His baby brother Mike, 12 years his junior, had recently graduated from USC and was interested...

Ever since we saw that Chevy Chase's Pierce comes to Annie's Day of the Dead party dressed as the Beastmaster on tonight's Community (NBC, 8 p.m. Et), we've been wondering how that awesomely bad costume choice was made. So, we phoned the writers of the episode to find out. According to Jon Pollack, who penned the half hour with Tim Hobert, "The joke was that we wanted Pierce to be doing something that he thought the kids would be into — but it was something that actually kids might have been into in the '80s. The initial idea was Tron,...

Scrubs executive producer Tim Hobert has inked a two-year overall deal with Sony Pictures Television.
Under the seven-figure pact, which includes a development component, he will join the studio's comedy 'Til Death as an executive producer.
On the Brad Garrett-starring Death, which was picked up by Fox for a second season, Hobert will serve as an executive producer alongside the show's creators/executive producers, Cathy Yuspa and Josh Goldsmith.
"Tim has two qualities that have always frustrated us -- talent and loyalty," quipped Zack Van Amburg, co-president of programming and production at Sony Pictures TV. "He's used both of them against us in competing shows, and now that he's joined the Sony family and ' 'Til Death, ' we plan to exploit that same loyalty and talent for our future success."
For the past 11 years, Hobert worked with Bill Lawrence on two half-hour series.
He was the only writer that was on ABC's Spin City, co-created by Lawrence, for the entire six-year run of the show.
