Topher Grace Set to Return to TV With Sitcom HOME ECONOMICS at ABC

Topher Grace has gone on to have a pretty successful film career, appearing in films like Interstellar and BlacKkKlansman, as well as the upcoming political comedy Irresistable, with Steve Carell and Rose Byrne, but he got his start as Eric Forman on the hit 8-season TV series That 70’s Show. And now Grace is going on to star in another series called Home Economics at ABC.

Variety reports that Grace will play one of three brothers in the “single-camera comedy pilot at ABC which hails from Lionsgate and ABC Studios.” The series “centers around three adult siblings: one in the one percent, one middle-class, and one barely holding on. Grace will play Tom, the middle sibling both in age and economic status. The character is described as an intellectual, a novelist who’s had a couple books that sold decently, but his last one did not. He strives to be where his brother is financially, but fears he’ll slip down to his sister’s level. He’s in a creative field, so his income fluctuates. That wasn’t such a concern when he was starting out, but now he’s plagued by financial anxiety after having twins.”

Comedic writing partners Michael Colton and John Aboud, who wrote Penguins of Madagascar and episodes of Leverage, are on board to write and co-produce alongside Eric and Kim Tannenbaum (Two and a Half Men).

I think this sounds like it could be a really good series. I’m interested in checking it out. Does it sound like a show you might like?
