If you’re looking for a new sitcom to sink your teeth into, you are in luck. Great News will make its series premiere tonight on NBC, and it looks destined to be a major hit. The sitcom was created by Tracey Wigfield, who previously served as a producer and writer on 30 Rock and The Mindy Project. If that’s not already a fantastic sign, Tina Fey is also on board as an executive producer for Great News.
The premise of Great News is that Katie Wendelson (Briga Heelan) is working as a producer for a television news show when her mother Carol Wendelson (Andrea Martin) shows up as her new intern. The plot is kinda like The Intern meets Back to School, but I wouldn’t hold my breath for a Triple Lindy to go down.
Great News is set to air a 10-episode season on NBC, with two episodes running back-to-back every Tuesday night for the next five weeks. To make sure that you don’t miss the first two episodes, let’s breakdown all of the different ways you can watch Great News.
