Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are set to produce a half-hour comedy show again.
According to Deadline, the duo's pilot was picked up by CBS after a long and heated bidding and 20th Century Fox TV will produce the show, Contactmusic reported.
The show 'More Time With The Family' revolves around comedian Tom Papa as a middle-aged man, who in order to spend more time with his family reduces his traveling work.
However when he becomes settled, he realises that 'no one asked him to do that'.
The story is based on Papa's stand-up routine, as well as Damon's own experiences as a family man.
Ben Affleck took up the project as his production company, Pearl Street Films, wanted more television opportunities.
The duo has worked previously for various projects including 'Good Will Hunting', 'Project Greenlight' and 'Push Nevada' in 2002.
