"We're also very proud of our new comedy block of Go On and The New Normal," Salke said. "In partnering with Matthew Perry ... creator Scott Silveri has created a comedy with a highly original voice that deftly combines humor and emotion. And Ryan Murphy and Ali Adler have created a truly unique family ... that is reflective of the changing dynamics of the world we live in. These shows are both welcome additions to our new lineup!"
