NBC have announced that they will be airing the drama that made it big on social networking site, MySpace.

Quarterlife was created by the team behind 1990s hits Thirtysomething and My So-Called Life and currenlty appears weekly in eight-minute episodes on the website.

The 36 episodes will be combined into shows that can air on TV for an hour.

NBC Entertainment co-chairman Ben Silverman, who picked up the show, praised creators, Herskovitz and Zwick for having the courage to launch their show only on the web.

“If there were more people who are willing to bet on their own creative vision and finance themselves, then the business model becomes something they define,” he told Reuters.
