Jason Biggs heading to CBS?

Aside from a couple of TV shows in the 1990s (Drexell's Class and Total Security -- ever heard of them?), most of Jason Biggs' career has been in the film industry -- most notably as Jim Levenstein in the American Pie series. Now it looks like he might be headed back to TV with a CBS comedy about a family that "loves too much." He's in final negotiations to headline the as-yet-untitled project, which has received a pilot commitment and an order for six additional scripts.
The show revolves around adult siblings and their parents, all of whom are over-involved in each others' lives.
Ordinarily, that wouldn't be enough to get me fired up, but the kicker is the guy helming the project -- Mitch Hurwitz. Sound familiar? He created Arrested Development. Hurwitz (pictured, along with Biggs) is co-writing the script with Arrested scribe James Vallely.
Ok, I'm officially excited about this project. I can picture the voiceover in the opening credits: "Now the story of a family of adult kids and their parents..." But CBS...?
