NBC Acquires ‘Quarterlife’

NBC has concluded a first-of-its-kind deal to acquire the talked-about new Internet and social network series “Quarterlife” for distribution as an hourlong drama series on the NBC network after it has first played in eight-minute segments on several Web sites.

NBC will begin broadcasting the series, which will not be affected by the current writers’ strike because of its ownership structure, probably in February. By then it will have completed a run of eight-minute episodes on MySpace.com as well as on the “Quarterlife siteitself. That site, beyond being a home for streaming video of the series, is intended to be a destination and social networking location for what it calls “artists, thinkers, and doers.”
