LOS ANGELES, May 14 (UPI) -- TBS says it has ordered "Glory Daze," a 1-hour comedy series set in a Wisconsin college in the 1980s.

Starring Kelly Blatz, Callard Harris, Matt Bush, Drew Seeley, Hartley Sawyer, Julianna Guill and Tim Meadows, the show is to make its debut late this year.

The cable television network said Friday it has ordered eight episodes of the series, which was created by Walt Becker and Michael LeSieur, who wrote the pilot episode and serve as executive producers.

"'Glory Daze' is a sharply written, laugh-out-loud comedy with a talented ensemble cast, including comic veteran Tim Meadows," said Michael Wright, executive vice president and head of programming for TBS, TNT and Turner Classic Movies. "The time is right for this feel-good, funny and fresh take on college life in the '80s."
