Three Moons Over Milford
2006 · TV series · 43 min episodes · 1 season
Created by Jon Boorstin
With a cosmic explosion threatening Earth's existence, the residents of the picturesque small town of Milford have taken their lives to the extreme: quitting jobs, indulging vices and basically living as if today were their last. The Montgomery family is no exception. Janet Montgomery's husband abandoned his family to climb the seven largest peaks in the world, her daughter Lydia has taken up witchcraft to help save the Earth and her 17 year old son Alex gets involved with the older next door neighbor.

On barely related note, I immediately thought about Three Moons Over Milford, in which the moon breaks into three chunks and rains meteorites down on the surface. As it turns out the tile comes from Seveneves, which has a similar concept. The TV show focuses on the life of the townspeople, while Seveneves focuses on the science and drama of the exploded moon. Stephenson started working on his book in 2004, completing it in 2013. TMOM came out in 2006.
Again, these are two completely different stories with only a common catalyst, but I wonder if the idea for TMOM may have come from someone that knows Stephenson (ie, he mentioned the idea in 2004/5 to someone that ran with it), or if the creators are even aware of the other.
