‘Mammoth’ Comedy Series From ‘Modern Family’ Producers Gets Green Light at Fox

Fox has given the green light to a new comedy series titled "Mammoth," produced by the creators of "Modern Family," Christopher Lloyd and Danny Zucker. Based on a British comedy with a unique premise, "Mammoth" revolves around Coach Tony Mammoth, a larger-than-life high school gym teacher who finds himself buried in a ski avalanche in 1983 and frozen in time.

The series explores Mammoth's struggle to adapt to a drastically changed world 40 years later, as he is revived in the 1980s with his signature Burt Reynolds moustache and Trans-AM car. Despite the vast differences in societal norms, relationships, and realities, Mammoth remains determined to return to his beloved teaching job.
