Divorce unites Grazer, NBC

September 14, 2007 Novelist Gigi Levangie Grazer, whose best-seller "The Starter Wife" became a critically and commercially successful miniseries for USA Network, is venturing into series television with a dramedy project at NBC. The project, to be produced by Universal Media Studios, revolves around a couple in their 30s who are going though a divorce. In the untitled project, which has received a script commitment from the network, the divorcing couple -- a college professor moonlighting as a controversial political blogger, and his wife, who works at a private school and volunteers at a juvenile prison -- don't have enough money to separate right away, so the husband continues to live under the same roof with his wife and their two children, ages 14 and 8.
