　　NBC台2012年秋季新剧《新常态》由著名制片人、已经有两部热播美剧（《欢乐合唱团》和《美国恐怖故事》）的瑞恩·墨菲担任主创。《新常态》为半小时喜剧，讲述一对男同夫夫和他们的代孕女住同一屋檐下、迎接和抚养小孩的故事。由贾斯汀·巴萨和安德鲁·兰内尔斯饰演的同志伴侣决定抚养自己的小孩，他们将代孕妈妈锁定在餐馆女侍、负债累累的单亲妈妈格罗莉（乔治雅·金 Georgia King 饰）身上，后者怀孕后搬入和他们一起生活，从而给这个另类家庭增添了诸多欢笑和烦恼。宗教团体在开播前曾呼吁抵制，认为该剧扭曲了“正常的家庭价值观”，但大量调查表明“同志也可以组建家庭”已成为美国民意主流，因此《新常态》所反映的“新常态”还会继续发展和壮大。
　　本剧由瑞恩·墨菲和《欢乐合唱团》编剧艾丽·阿德勒共同打造，由二十世纪电视公司负责制作，是NBC在2012年开发和预订的第13部情景喜剧。

　　Who is God? Where did we come from? Why does evil happen? What happens when we die? Every human being on earth has asked themselves these questions at some point, and most likely each person has found a different answer.This series will take viewers on a trip around the world to explore different cultures and religions on the ultimate quest to uncover the meaning of life, God and all these big questions in between.
　　The series seeks to understand how religion has evolved throughout the course of civilization, and in turn how religion has shaped the evolution of society. Although in our current geopolitical landscape, religion is often seen as something that divides, the series illuminates the remarkable similarities among different faiths, even those that seem to be in staunch contrast. This is a quest for God: to shed light on the questions that have puzzled, terrified and inspired mankind, not to mention Freeman himself.
　　Each episode is centered on a different big question about the divine:
　　Creation – Are there similarities among the religious creation stories from around the world? How do they compare with the scientific theory of the creation of the cosmos and the dawn of civilization?
　　Who Is God? – How has the perception of God evolved over human history? Is God just an idea, and if so, can we find evidence of a divine presence in our brains?
　　Evil – What is the root of evil and how has our idea of it evolved over the millennia? Is the devil real? The birth of religion may be inextricably tied to the need to control evil.
　　Miracles – Are miracles real? For many believers, miracles are the foundation of their faith. Others regard miracles as merely unlikely events on which our brains impose divine meaning. Belief in miracles, however we define them, could be what gives us hope and drives us to turn possibility into reality.
　　End of Days – Violent upheaval and fiery judgment fill popular imagination, but was the lore of apocalypse born out of the strife that plagued the Middle East two millennia ago? The true religious meaning of the apocalypse may not be a global war, but an inner revelation.
　　Resurrection – How have beliefs in the afterlife developed, and how has our reaction to the afterlife changed the way we live this life? Now that science is making such rapid advances, we may soon be confronted with digital resurrection. What will that do to our beliefs?
　　To explore each of these topics, host and narrator Freeman went on the ground to some of humanity’s greatest religious sites, including Jerusalem’s Wailing Wall, India’s Bodhi Tree, Mayan temples in Guatemala and the pyramids of Egypt. He traveled with archaeologists to uncover the long-lost religions of our ancestors, such as those at the 7500 B.C. Neolithic settlement Çatalhöyük in Turkey. He immersed himself in religious experiences and rituals all around the world, and became a test subject in scientific labs to examine how the frontiers of neuroscience are intersecting the traditional domain of religion.
