About a Boy Premiering Tonight!

Nick Hornby alert! A new sit-com - "About a Boy," based on Hornby's 1998 novel, premieres tonight on NBC at 9pm. I happened to catch a sneak preview of the pilot on Saturday night; it basically traced the outline of the novel and 2002 film based on it in half an hour, which means that the series will likely chart new territory. The only recognizable star is Minnie Driver in the role that Toni Collette played in the Hugh Grant film. It's worth checking out.
