A single-camera comedy pilot by Silverman was given the go-ahead by television network NBC in 2011 after a bidding war between multiple networks.
"Arrested Development" producer Ron Howard was reported to have been personally involved in the development process of the series.
It was to be loosely based on Silverman's life as a woman who had just ended a decade-long live-in relationship.
The series was tentatively titled "Susan 313" and received a put pilot commitment, which would require the network to pay a large fine if the pilot was not aired.
However, NBC did not pick up the series for the fall 2012 season.
On September 20, 2012, Silverman made a public service announcement (PSA) criticizing new voter identification laws that create obstacles to the ability of certain U.S. populations to vote in the November presidential election, i.e., young, old, poor, and minority citizens.
The project was financed by the Jewish Council for Education and Research (JCER) and was co-produced by Mik Moore and Ari Wallach (the pair that also co-produced The Great Schlep and Scissor Sheldon).
Silverman also voiced Vanellope von Schweetz, one of the main characters in the 2012 Disney animated film, "Wreck-It Ralph".
She is in the creative team that writes and produces the content for the YouTube comedy channel called JASH.
The other partners are Michael Cera, Reggie Watts, Tim Heidecker, and Eric Wareheim (also known as Tim & Eric).
The JASH channel premiered online March 10, 2013.HBO has announced that Silverman will star with Patti LuPone and Topher Grace in a situation comedy pilot called "People in New Jersey", produced by Lorne Michaels. 
The game begins with the skater choosing one of five pre-designed skaters to play with.
Upon choosing, the player gets on a bus to Los Angeles, where he meets a blonde-haired girl named Kelly, who says she is going to L.A. to become an actress.
He tells her that he is going to get away from friends and family, who have treated him badly.
Upon arrival in Hollywood, skateboarding punks steal the player's bag and tell him to go back to "Ken-sucky", Los Angeles being a locals-only scene.
Here he meets Mindy, who helps him sort out his clothes and hair, in order to blend in with the locals, and two local skaters, Ian and Duane, who introduce new tricks to him and advance his skills.
The player then finds one of the punks who stole his bag and challenges him to a skate off for his bag.
The player wins, and takes back his bag, despite the punk attempting to run off with it.
Later, the player sees Mindy drawing and finds out that she is a talented artist.
Her sketches are going to be featured in her skating magazine, named "American Wasteland".
However, Mindy hasn't gathered enough money to fund the project yet, but the player assures her it will happen.
One of her sketches is a "sick spot that the player would absolutely love," but she tells the player that the spot is exclusive to local skaters.
Mindy agrees to get the player access, however the skate park is in Beverly Hills, and the passage to Beverly Hills is blocked by a protest against poor treatment of sheep.
The player ends the protest by destroying a huge dinosaur head model that is on top of a movie theatre, which smashes into the protest.
The player and Mindy arrive in Beverly Hills and go to a place called the "Skate Ranch", the place in Mindy's sketchbook.
There, he meets Mindy's skater friends: Boone, a bald man who goes for extreme jumps and gaps, but usually bails them; Useless Dave, a short man who is "the encyclopedia of useless skateboarding trivia"; and Murphy, a tall, sarcastic type who has an endless array of contacts and friends all over L.A., and is always on his cell phone.
They won't let the skater go into the ranch, unless he can keep up with their skating skills.
He learns how to do their performed tricks and then proves himself worthy of going in the ranch.
Gaining their approval, he is let into the ranch, and meets the leader of the group, Iggy VanZant, a very rough type guy who isn't fond of outsiders.
He agrees to let him crash at the ranch if he obtains some wood for a half-pipe he is building.
When he does, the half-pipe is set up, which spurs the group to do the ranch up and make it a full-on skatepark.
With the help of Murphy's contacts, he and the group embark on obtaining skate-able pieces from all over L.A., the first being the destroyed dinosaur head he made earlier on.
From here on in, the overall task is to obtain pieces for the skate ranch, unlocking new places in L.A.
Eventually, the player participates in the Tony Hawk AmJam, an amateur skating contest taking place in the Vans Skatepark in Downtown.
He wins the AmJam, however, while making a short speech, he tells Tony Hawk that the last trick he performed was taught to him by Iggy, who, unknown to the skater, is living in total secrecy in the ranch, as his crime rate is somewhat extensive.
Iggy is soon arrested.
Mindy suggests that the skater talks to the Z-Boys, the only other group Iggy has hung out with, about what to do.
He meets skating legend Tony Alva, and finds out that Iggy's skate ranch is actually "Green Pipes Point," a legendary snake run that got levelled many years ago.
He decides it has to be dug up, and befriends Alva's friend Mega, who runs an oil rig just off Santa Monica.
While Mega is digging up Green Pipes Point, the player rescues Boone after he was kidnapped by his old street gang, the Black Widows, in East L.A.. After some time, the player gets a phone call from Iggy in jail, who explains his bail will be with him shortly and tells him "one day you'll make it up to ".
The player tells Iggy that he "already did" because of Green Pipes Point, expecting an ecstatic response from Iggy.
However, Iggy is furious, because he doesn't own the land, and if the owner finds out about Green Pipes Point, he'll sell it.
Iggy threatens violence and hangs up.
The ranch is then locked up.
Iggy arrives with a baseball bat, and starts hitting the ranch's gate in rage.
The player tries to apologize, but it doesn't matter to Iggy, who believes that the ranch will never be his place thanks to him.
In response, the player lashes out at Iggy that if he hadn't spent his time waiting for someone else to solve his problems, the ranch could have been his.
Instantly, Iggy drops his bat and punches him in the face, saying that there's "some things has waited too long to do."
The player also snaps at Mindy, blaming her because of her suggestion to do up the ranch, and insult her drawings, which deeply offends her and she storms off.
The player, Murphy, Dave and Boone decide to start a project to save the ranch, by making a skate video featuring famous pros, with all the proceeds going to Green Pipes Point.
He then rounds up many pros, including pro BMX rider Mat Hoffman.
During this time, Iggy reconciles with the player, admitting that he can't just wait for someone to bail him out, and assuring him that Mindy will recover.
The group also go to a casino and steal features of it for the skatepark.
Eventually, the buzz of the video has become so big that the ranch can be bought simply with the money from the pre-orders.
The group leaves the casino, but are confronted with a vast array of police cars and helicopters.
The player manages to evade them, skating through the city to get back to the ranch.
When the player arrives at the ranch successfully, the American Wasteland is complete with various items such as the dug-up snake run, a crane, and the world famous Hollywood sign reading "Wasteland".
Everyone is completely overjoyed, with Iggy saying that the ranch is now his, and to celebrate, he is going to throw a party at the ranch, with everyone in town invited.
Mindy comes over to the player on the half-pipe, and he apologizes.
She accepts the apology, and shows off her first edition of her Magazine, American Wasteland, which she was talking about at the start of the game.
The player is on the cover.
Iggy comes over and spills the beans that the player was the one who gave her the money to get American Wasteland published.
Mindy seems flattered, and the two eventually kiss and presumably become lovers. 
  In the United Kingdom, a long-running comic strip version was written by Angus P. Allan, illustrated by Bill Titcombe, and printed in children's television magazine, "Look-In".
Several British-produced annuals were also released that tied in with the series.
A subsequent Saturday morning cartoon entitled "Mork & Mindy/Laverne & Shirley/Fonz Hour" ran on ABC from 1982 to 1983.
The "Mork & Mindy" segments were a prequel with Mindy as a student in high school.
The character of Eugene returned in this spin-off voiced by Shavar Ross.
In 2005, a made-for-television movie entitled "Behind the Camera: The Unauthorized Story of Mork & Mindy" aired on NBC.
Chris Diamantopoulos portrayed Robin Williams, Erinn Hayes portrayed Pam Dawber and Daniel Roebuck portrayed producer Garry Marshall.
The movie depicts Williams' instant stardom and behind the scenes turmoil that the cast and crew would have with the network.
In 1979, a short-lived Brazilian version of the series appeared as "Superbronco".
It was produced by Rede Globo and starred comedian Ronald Golias and actress Liza Vieira.  
Daniels recently made a deal with NBC to produce several series for Universal Television.
He also developed the British series "Friday Night Dinner" for American audiences.
The remake was picked up for a pilot, which was written by Daniels and directed by Ken Kwapis, and featured Allison Janney and Tony Shalhoub as the mother and father.
The pilot was eventually not picked up for series.
He is also teaming with Mindy Kaling and Alan Yang to work on two differing animated series for NBC and has recently made a deal to executive produce a new pilot written by "Office" writer Owen Ellickson and starring "Office" cast member Craig Robinson.
