Michael Ian Black and Ben Stiller are headed to ABC. Vulture is reporting that the two comedians are set to develop a new family sitcom for the network, based on Black's book, You're Not Doing It Right. The show, which will share the same name as the book, is being described as a single-camera comedy that will be set in Connecticut and center on "what happens when you wake up, look around, and don’t recognize the life you are living as your own." Meaning, it'll probably follow some guy who works a boring job even though, when he was younger, he had dreams of being someone cool like a rock star. C'est la vie.

Black will write and star in the series, and executive produce alongside Stiller, Debbie Liebling, and Stuart Confeld.
