A TV adaptation of late actor John Ritter’s 1990 film Problem Child is in development. Bosses at America’s NBC network have recruited The Hangover II writer Scot Armstrong to pen the script for the small screen comedy, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The original movie starred Ritter and his real-life wife Amy Yasbeck as a couple who adopt a troubled kid who has been brought back and forth from an orphanage 30 times.
The film spawned two spin-offs in the 1990s, as well as an animated series, which ran for two seasons.
