I am – Hercules!!

The great Jason Katims, the “My So-Called Life” vet who masterminded ABC’s “Relativity” and The WB’s “Roswell” before he became showrunner on NBC’s “Friday Night Lights,” will now oversee a new TV version of the blockbuster 1989 Steve Martin dramedy “Parenthood.”

If the project goes forward, Katims’ “Parenthood” will be NBC’s second series based on the movie, the network having already aired a short-lived half-hour sitcom version in late 1990.

"Parenthood" trivia:

* Leonardo DiCaprio played the sitcom version of Garry Buckman, embodied by Joaquin "Leaf" Phoenix in the movie version.

* MTV's "Remote Control" host Ken Ober played Nathan Merrick, the sitcom version of Rick Moranis' Nathan Huffner character.

* Joss Whedon wrote on the “Parenthood” sitcom two years before the movie version of “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” marked his feature debut.
