ABC Developing Comedy About Undocumented Family With ‘New Girl’ Writer
Variety ^ | September 20, 2017 | by Joe Otterson

Posted on 09/21/2017 1:49:28 PM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

ABC is developing a comedy about an undocumented family with “New Girl” writer and co-executive producer David Feeney, Variety has learned.

Titled “Sanctuary Family,” the single camera comedy would follow a hard-bitten husband and empathetic wife who butt heads over the chaos created when they provide sanctuary for their undocumented nanny and her family.

This is the latest project about immigration to go into development at the broadcast networks in recent weeks. Gina Rodriguez has set up Latino-led series at CBS and The CW. At CBS, drama “Have Mercy” centers around a Latina doctor who is unable to practice when she immigrates to Miami.

Meanwhile, Fox is developing “In the Country We Love,” based on the memoir of the same name by “Orange Is the New Black” star Diane Guerrero. That project was set up at CBS last year, with Guerrero attached to star as an attorney who begins defending undocumented immigrants for free.

They should make it gritty and authentic:

Have the host Dad should knock her up..!

Then maybe throw in one of those bothersome Amber Alerts, which invariably involve illegals.

Proof that the main goal of “entertainment” is to shape our culture. RESIST!

Personally, I can’t wait to miss it!

Here is the Big Question: Are these Networks and Studios ever going to get the message that many of us, a lot of us, are tuning out of their product and that either they get balanced and cater to us Deplore-ables or they can kiss those entertainment dollars goodbye?????????????

Will it pull in viewers as well as 'The Ropers'?

Time will tell...

I love Zoey Deschanel, but the writing for New Girl is so horrific I can’t bear to watch it. Which means Sanctuary Family will be a smash hit, if laugh tracks are any indication.

If there’s one thing people enjoy less than politicized award shows is politicized TV shows and movies. They usually flop.

It will probably fail, then go on to cable. After that, it will win a ‘ton’ of awards and high praise from the media.
This may become a new substitute for Lena Dunham’s finally cancelled show. “The way life should be!!”

Yep. Yet another show that, under the guise of entertainment or comedy , is trying to persuade us to be liberal towards some social/political issue.

I hope this is a very short series. Episode Three, when the ratings have proven they are not going to take off, I want ICE to deport the criminals, and I want the police/FBI to arrest the family that is conspiring to violate federal law. I am not a fan of criminals, of those who harbor criminals, of those who take advantage of illegal workers by paying them far less than hiring an American would cost, or of those who celebrate criminal behavior.
