With Fresh Content at Deficit, NBC Picks Up MySpace TV's Quarterlife


The next Claire Danes?

Marking the first time an internet series has been bought by a TV network, NBC picked up MySpace TV's web series Quarterlife.

NBC will air the show from its first episode and tap into unaired episodes as well.

New episodes are on hold due to the writer's strike, but there are "suggestions" NBC bought the show as a result of the strike: hard up for fresh content, the network turned to the web.

Quarterlife is produced by Marshall Herskovitz and Edward Zwick, creators of the ABC TV shows My So-Called Life and Thirtysomething.
