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.

They came up with the idea to have Jason Biggs have sex with a pie. Now, brothers Chris and Paul Weitz are working a development deal with NBC. They're creating two single-camera comedies. One is called The Trail, about a group of friends that become bored with their lives and decide to ditch everything to hike the Appalachian Trail. The brothers are actually working on that show with another pair of siblings, Mark and Jay Duplass, who made the low budget movie, The Puffy Chair (which has a terrific script but the shaky camera work made me woozy). The other show in the works for the Weitz brothers is Terrible Life, about an incompetent guardian angel who gets one last chance to prove his worth.TV Squad Hot Topics
