Score One for the Net

摘要

Not many shows get a sec- ond chance to succeed. "Quar-terlife" is on its third. After ABC rejected the pilot, the show's creators, Marshall Herskovitz and Edward Zwick, took it to the Internet, where the series has landed 6 million views in three months. This week NBC begins airing it as well, making this the first show to migrate from the Net to a network. Herskovitz and Zwick-the team behind "Thirtysomething," which "Quarterlife" resembles, but with twentysomethings-spoke to NEWSWEEK's Ramin Setoodeh about the transition and what their show has gained, and lost, in the process.
