Default Coach follow-up series for NBC

Quote:
TV's Year of Revivals continues.

NBC has handed out a 13-episode straight-to-series order for a "Coach" follow-up comedy, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

Craig T. Nelson, fresh off his six-season run on NBC's "Parenthood," will reprise his role as coach Hayden Fox in the comedy. Barry Kemp -- who created the original series that ran on ABC for nine seasons -- will return to write the NBC follow-up and exec produce the Universal Television multicamera series with Nelson.

NBC's sequel picks up 18 years after "Coach" went off the air in 1997 following a nearly 200-episode run. Nelson's beleaguered football coach is now retired and is called back to become the assistant coach to his own grown son, who is now the new head coach at an Ivy League school in Pennsylvania that is just starting up a new team.

Does this mean a return of the Dinosaurs, Alf?
