Christopher Guest's "Family Tree" - HBO

Chris O’Dowd (Bridesmaids) stars in Christopher Guest‘s spring HBO series as a recently single and unemployed 30-something man who discovers himself by investigating his wacky extended family. Frequent Guest players Michael McKean, Fred Willard, Don Lake, Ed Begley Jr., and Jim Piddock (who co-wrote and exec produces the series with Guest) join Matt Griesser, Maria Blasucci, Amy Seimetz, Nina Conti, and Tom Bennett in the single camera docu-style series. Family Tree debuts in May on HBO and BBC Two in the UK. Here’s the show’s teaser:

Ahhh, this is something I'm really looking forward to. I've been hoping for the IT Crowd guy to show up in another series.

It's been recommended to me by a few friends, but still haven't gotten a chance to watch it. But this is another reminder to check it out.

Nice! Just the other day I was wondering if Christopher Guest was working on anything new. I was disappointed in For Your Consideration, but love just about everything else he's done.

At&t is always trying to get me to take a 3 month free trial on HBO and I was thinking I would do that when Game of Thrones comes back. It sounds like this may sync up nicely with that plan.

Just became aware of this too. This could be great. And if it keeps O'Dowd away from crap like Girls, all the better.
