The Hollywood Reporter: ‘Big Bang Theory’ Writer Developing Family Comedy ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ at CBS


Or, as the Onion A.V. Club puts it, “Last lingering shred of ‘alternative’ culture dies as CBS buys Smells Like Teen Spirit sitcom.”

From the Hollywood Reporter piece: “The multicamera comedy revolves around an 18-year-old budding entrepreneur who forgoes Harvard and instead opts to launch a multibillion-dollar Internet company from his garage with the assistance of his sister, best friend and his 1990s indie-rock parents.” (Full story here; H/T Jason Baldwin)
