The WB Picks ‘Greetings From Tucson’ Up For A Full Season.
September 28, 2002
The WB Network, off to its strongest ratings start ever, has picked up its Friday night family comedy Greetings From Tucson for the entire season. The announcement was made today by Jordan Levin, President, Entertainment of The WB.
“The WB looks at program development as a one-year process, and we’re happy with the creative direction of Greetings From Tucson,” said Levin. “Comedies need nurturing and time to hit their stride and we’re going to give `TUCSON’ its time because we have full confidence in Peter Murrieta, the gifted voice at the helm of this Latino family sitcom.”
Greetings From Tucson is about a blended Mexican/Irish family, which recently moved up the fiscal ladder in Arizona. It is written from the personal life of series creator Peter Murrieta. Murrieta, Rob LaZebnick, Howard Klein and David Miner are executive producers for Big Ticket Television, a Paramount/Viacom company.
