VUGURU AND BERMANBRAUN TEAM UP WITH AOL TO LAUNCH FAMILY COMEDY "GREETINGS FROM HOME"

12-Episode Military-Themed Series Premieres October 1

New York, NY (October 1, 2012) Vuguru, an independent studio founded by Michael Eisner that develops and finances award winning scripted content for digital and international platforms, and AOL today announced the US premiere of "Greetings From Home," a family comedy series from BermanBraun. Debuting October 1st on 'AOL On Relationships' and 'AOL On Parenting', "Greetings From Home" is a humorous take on the chaos that ensues when a military dad has to raise two unruly teens while mom is deployed overseas. The 12-episode series is written by Bill Rosenthal, Bill Masters and Michael Davidoff, directed by Jared Drake and executive produced by BermanBraun's Gail Berman and Lloyd Braun.

When career soldier Pete Griffin loses a leg in combat oversees, he is sent home to a desk job at the army base near his family's home. Simultaneously, Pete's wife Patty, an Army nurse, gets deployed to Afghanistan, leaving him to raise daredevil son Chris (17) and moody adolescent daughter Becky (15) by himself. Fortunately, helping Pete survive single fatherhood are his slacker brother-in-law, loopy grandmother Nana and the neighborhood army wives: Sue Meyers with OCD, Emma Mountcastle, a sassy pregnant intellectual, Roberta Sommer, an airhead trying to lose weight before her husband returns, and Missy Wentworth, an overly provacative teenage bride. Pete loves his family, but he realizes that raising teenage kids is more stressful than taking on enemy fire in combat.
