The first episode of “quarterlife” only drew 3.1 million viewers to NBC. It marked the network’s worst time-period performance in the 10 p.m. hour in at least 17 years, averaging a 1.3 rating/4 share among adults 18 to 49, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

It’s very likely that NBC will drop the show from its schedule before the second episode airs, but there’s hope it will end up on cable somewhere.

Marshall Herskovitz was quoted saying that “[quarterlife] never should have been a network show. It’s too specific.” It didn’t work on network TV because of the “intimate storylines and tight camera angles”.

“From the first three minutes,” he said, “I knew it wasn’t right.”

The Durango Herald has printed an article about the arts-loving Gummersall family.

[...]
The Gummersall brothers both feel that their family bond keeps them grounded in the surreal world of Hollywood.

Their father, C. Gregory Gummersall, is a Durango painter and sculptor. Their stepmother, Jenny, is a fine-art photographer and painter, and Tyller, their younger brother, is a local musician. That art-saturated background stands them in good stead in the entertainment industry.

The rumors were true: The broadcast network NBC has picked up the new Bedford Falls production “quarterlife” according to the Hollywood Reporter.

The network will premiere the show as an hour-long drama series midseason after it concludes its run on the Internet early in 2008 and will also stream it on nbc.com.

While NBC will become a distribution partner for online, DVD and foreign markets, Herskovitz and Zwick will still retain full ownership and creative control of the series.

The new web series “quarterlife” by the producers of “My So-Called Life”, Marshall Herskovitz and Ed Zwick, has launched on November 11th on MySpace.com and November 12th on www.quarterlife.com.

Devon Gummersall (“Brian Krakow” from “My So-Called Life”) wrote episodes #4 and #5, his brother Josh Gummersall is co-producer of “quarterlife” and Devon’s wife Majandra Delfino stars in four of the 36, eight-minute episodes. Also, Greg Gummersall’s (Devon’s and Josh’s father) art is featured in numerous sets/scenes.
