TRIPLE DECKER is a proposed one-hour TV series. The tone blends drama with some comedy. The idea of an extended family all living in one “triple decker” home has merit. TV shows about families are popular and the concept of one family living under the same roof is a smart idea and a good setup for drama and/or comedy.
