For a network that has recently aired new versions of American Gladiators and Knight Rider, perhaps it is only fitting that NBC has a project called Lost in the '80s in the works. The Hollywood Reporter says NBC has ordered a pilot for '80s, which is executive produced by Arrested Development creator Mitch Hurwitz. The Wonder Years' Bob Brush wrote the script to the pilot, which is said to be somewhat similar to that Fred Savage series, in terms of looking back at life in an earlier era.

Directing the pilot to Lost in the '80s will be P.J. Hogan, director of the 2004 live-action version of Peter Pan and the upcoming Confessions of a Shopaholic. Joining Hurwitz as executive producers on the project are Eric Tannenbaum and Kim Tannenbaum.

Lost in the '80s isn't the only new potential TV series set in that era – The CW's Gossip Girl spinoff concept is a prequel series set in the 1980s, starring the teenage version of the character Lily.

Meanwhile, the busy Hurwitz has several projects in the works, including a remake of the British comedy Absolutely Fabulous, which is also moving forward. Variety reports that Kristen Johnston (3rd Rock From the Sun) is in talks to star in the AbFab pilot.
