TV Notes : TV producers network with Web

The creators of TV teen-angst drama “My So-Called Life” and baby-boomer showcase “thirtysomething” are bringing twentysomething programming to the Internet.

Ed Zwick and Marshall Herskovitz will launch “quarterlife” – about a journalist who perplexes friends over her revelatory video blog – on myspacetv.com starting Nov. 11.

The series, in 36 eight-minute chapters posted twice a week, also will appear on the pair’s social-networking site, quarterlife.com, which debuts the same day.

An early version was pitched to ABC as an hour-long drama, but the project was scrapped and retooled for the Net.

Katie bombs in Iraq

“CBS Evening News” anchor Katie Couric’s heavily promoted visit to Iraq last week matched the newscast’s record-low ratings, averaging 5.46 million viewers.

“Going to Iraq never generates good numbers,” says CBS News President Sean McManus. “In fact, it’s quite the opposite; there’s fatigue from Iraq.

“If we wanted ratings, we would have sent Katie to Larry Craig’s house.”
