USA Network Spares No Expense at Lincoln Center

First upfront for new leadership team

After news last week that USA has spent upwards of six months purchasing a number of new scripted comedies—the first comedies for the network in over a decade—USA went into some (though not too much) detail about what some of those comedies will actually be. The shows previewed last night were the first slate announced since Chris McCumber and Jeff Wachtel took over as co-presidents of the network in mid-March.

The new scripted comedies include a single-camera half-hour called On We Go, starring Nathan Lane (as a struggling actor whose career is marred by the fact that he bears a resemblance to actor Nathan Lane), and Big in Japan, also a half-hour comedy about a boy band that has decided to reunite after two decades of inactivity.
