 Zap2it - TV news - 'Septuplets' And 'Grubbs' Dead
"Septuplets" was of the teen drama ilk, following seven siblings and their lives at a family-owned beach hotel, while "The Grubbs" was a comedy about a teen boy who starts to strive for something more despite having aggressively under-achieving parents (Randy Quaid, Carol Kane).
While "Septuplets" was always slated for a midseason launch, "The Grubbs" was supposed to premiere in November, before getting bumped by the return of "Andy Richter Controls the Universe."
Berman says that the comedy failed "to live up to its creative potential, so we decided to cut the order back and move on." However, the seven episodes that have already been produced may be burned off over the summer.
