Tomodachi Life (Sitcom)

Tomodachi Life is a cancelled 2015 sitcom based on the video game of the same name.

BACKGROUND:

Talks of a show appeared around late 2014, when Tomodachi Life was making millions for the Nintendo 3DS. Dan Schneider of Nickelodeon saw this as an opportunity to turn a game about life, romance, and drama into a sitcom. Nickelodeon approached Nintendo about the project. They were hesitant, but eventually allowed production to begin. Curtis Harris was casted in as the main character, a boy named Bill, Lizzy Greene was casted as Shiana, his crush, and Logan Lerman was casted as Shiana's goody goody boyfriend and Bill's rival. The two produced episodes centered around Teen Island, a resort where teens all stay in one apartment, where drama ensues. Among these teens is Bill, who sets his sights on a girl name Shiana, who is currently dating Dan, a stuckup goody twoshoes. Schneider brought in Jeff Franklin of Full House as the sole writer and storyteller of the series. After already unstable production of only two episodes, Nintendo was dissatisfied and dropped out. The episodes were never aired.
