While fans of those properties might be dismayed to hear that news, Braff is thrilled to be doing something different and accessible to all ages.
Zach Braff is bringing a PG show to ABC in a television landscape that frequently sees networks and studios pushing the censorship boundaries to compete with streaming and premium channels.
Braff told THR the show didn’t need anything above a PG rating to tell its story, which is based on the experience of NPR journalist Alex Blumberg’s attempt to start his own podcasting company.
Alex, Inc. does not feature the off-the-wall antics or occasional raunchiness of Scrubs, and it definitely stays away from the heavy subject matter tackled by BoJack Horseman and Inside Amy Schumer, both of which featured Braff as guest stars.
