Mystery illness delays 'Parenthood'

'Parenthood' the new NBC series that was supposed to debut this fall is now reportedly being pushed back to midseason because of an illness that has hit Maura Tierney, one of the stars of the show.

The show, from producers Ron Howard and Brian Grazer, is a retelling of the 1989 movie starring Steve Martin. Production was supposed to start on July 27th.

The production start has been postponed for eight weeks to late September "due to medical evaluation that (Tierney) is undergoing," NBC said. "We are unable to release further details and ask that you respect her privacy at this time."

This is the second time filming on 'Parenthood' has been put on hold following unfortunate circumstances. In April, production on the pilot was shut down for two days after NBC VP of Drama Nora O'Brien died unexpectedly on the Berkeley, Calif., set of the show.
