On November 13 2012, the brand new comedy series from YOMYOMF, "Squad 85" will premiere its pilot episode featuring an original theme written by Jeff Bowen ("Title of Show"). The series, created by Gregory Bonsignore, stars Parvesh Cheena ("Outsourced"), Travis Van Winkle ("Transformers") and a multi-ethnic cast of characters. The series also features guest stars and cameos by Diedrich Bader ("Outsourced"), Danny Pudi ("Community"), RJ Mitte ("Breaking Bad"), Janina Gavankar ("True Blood"), and Rizwan Manji ("Outsourced").

In 1985, the LAPD experimented with a secret Time-Travel Division – catapulting four of LA's finest 25 years into the future. That future is now! Gregory Bonsignore, a New York native, created 'Squad 85'. Bonsignore's writing credits include "Lie to Me", "Three Rivers", and "Million Dollar Mind Game". Fox optioned his TV Pilot "Yearbook" and Philip Seymour Hoffman & Emily Ziff's Academy Award Winning Cooperstown Productions developed his pilot "Rare" for their HBO first-look deal. Bonsignore also stars in the series as the character Bronx. Milauna Jemai, Ceci Fernandez and Christopher Larkin also star.

Bonsignore comments, "The show is really about the aesthetic of the 80's cop show being transplanted into today's world of CSI. These cops don't wait for warrants – they kick down the f**king door. Everyone could use a little 80's cop show in their lives."
