Comedy Central has handed a pilot order to “Boys and Girls Guide to Getting Down.”

Based on Paul Sapiano’s 2006 indie feature, the half-hour pilot is described as a how-to guide for twentysomethings living in the city.

Executive produced by Sapiano, John Lynch and Luke Greenfield and directed by Greenfield, the show will chronicle the adventures of several young characters, with the narrator giving tips about “getting down.”

The project was announced as part of Comedy Central’s 2009-10 slate in May as in development.
