NBC has bathed its version of The Slap in the unearthly green glow of success by green lighting the full eight part series.
This is a very nice moment, helping to sustain Matchbox which produced the original series for the ABC which left critics fainting with joy and audiences glued to its suburban shenanigans.
NBCU, the parent company for Matchbox, plucked it from the various offers from its worldwide network of boutique companies to reconcieve it for the US market, and put the eight eps into development in mid 2012.
