The network has given the green light to multicamera comedy Guys With Kids.

The Office producer Charlie Grandy will write and exec produce alongside Amy Ozols, Rick Wiener and Kenny Schwartz. Scott Ellis directed the pilot, which hails from Universal Television and Holiday Road. Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Tempestt Bledsoe and Sara Rue round out the cast. Rue's role could be recast as her casting is in second position to ABC's Reba McEntire comedy pilot Malibu Country.

Guys With Kids marks the network's first multicamera comedy ordered to series this season.
