Mail Order Family was a television comedy television series by writer-producer Jackie Clarke, director-executive producer Ruben Fleischer and executive producer David Bernad, that was cancelled without an episode being made. The show was pitched to NBC and revolved around "a widowed single father who orders a mail-order bride from the Philippines to help raise his two preteen daughters." The story, based on Clarke's real life experiences with her step-mother, was previously an online web animated series, and covered in a segment on the radio show This American Life.
