GASBAG is a coming-of-age comedy series about George Nordstrom, a lovable recently-out overtalker discovering what (and who) he really wants… at age 42. His overbearing mother, meddling neighbor, and dysfunctional coworkers at The Marcia Powell Travel Agency sure won't make it easy. But thanks to his can-do spirit, loving shoves from his brash cousin, Jean, and the liberating realization that he’s gay, George will learn to love silence. He may even learn to love himself.

The heart of TED LASSO meets the vibe of ABBOT ELEMENTARY but set in working class Queens, baby.

Written and Created by Lynn Rosen 
Produced by Chad Kessler and Lynn Rosen
