Variety reports that NBC has picked up the new comedy "20 Good Years," which co-stars Lithgow and Jeffrey Tambor. The pilot was penned by Michael Leeson, who will executive produce the situation comedy with Marsh McCall, Tom Werner, Eric Gold, Jimmy Miller and Mike Clements.

"20 Good Years," according to the industry paper, casts Lithgow and Tambor as "fiftysomething men who realize they want to change their ways and make the most out of the next 20 years of their lives."
