About a Boy (2014)

About a Boy is a 2014 NBC mid-season replacement sitcom loosely based on the 2002 film of the same name, and the Nick Hornby book that inspired the film. It follows the exploits of Will (David Walton), a slacker who has lived his entire life off the royalties of a song his dead father wrote. His life takes a drastic turn when his neighbor (Minnie Driver)'s son Marcus (Benjamin Stockham) hides in Will's house to escape some bullies, and the two become fast friends, since they're both immature and have lots in common. This is a major network sitcom, so don't expect too much skin, but the pilot episode does feature star David Walton in nothing but his underwear after being stripped by a woman who then runs out of his house! The show would be a lot better if it were just called About a Bulge!
