'Vacation' duo reunite for TV work
When does work seem like Vacation? When ABC picks up a comedy pilot starring Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo.
Chase and D'Angelo, who play the married couple at the center of the National Lampoon's Vacation film franchise, will be back together in a comedy pilot, Chev & Bev, which ABC ordered Monday.
The pair, who first played the Griswolds in 1983's Vacation, portray a baby-boomer couple enjoying retirement when they suddenly find themselves responsible for raising their grandchildren.
Chase starred in Community, but left the show during its run.
In other ABC news Monday, the network picked up a drama pilot, The Catch, from Shondaland's Shonda Rhimes and Betsy Beers. Rhimes already produces the network's Thursday lineup, including Grey's Anatomy, Scandal and How to Get Away with Murder.
The Catch "centers on a gutsy female forensic accountant who exposes fraud for a living and has finally found fulfillment both at work and in love until a case comes along that threatens to turn her world upside down," according to the show's description.
