I want this world to die.

 

[Shifty]

I want this world to die.

Try to look at it the other way, 312 million Americans did not watch.

 

[Hunter Rider]

I like the sound of the Sleepy Hollow project at Fox.

Who the hell is Honey Boo Boo?

 

[HighFivingMF]

I like the sound of the Sleepy Hollow project at Fox.

Who the hell is Honey Boo Boo?

A pageant kid with a legally ******ed (I assume) Mother.

I want this world to die.

Anyone got any plutonium connections?

A pageant kid with a legally ******ed (I assume) Mother.

I read this as pregnant, I don't know why...

 

[HighFivingMF]

I read this as pregnant, I don't know why...

Give it a couple seasons.

 

[Sawyer]

The concept itself is admittedly hokey/cheesy/possibly awful, but these clips really don't look all that offensive...

Animal Practice looks like somone at NBC saw an episode of Childrens Hospital and declared "We need to steal this show!"

 

[TheVileOne]

If Animal Hospital lasts more than a few episodes I'll eat a hat.

 

[wiegeabo]

what kind of hat?

 

[Sawyer]

I can't take any of you guys seriously if you're going to crap on Animal Practice but not say a word about the **** sandwich that is Guys With Kids.

 

[TheVileOne]

what kind of hat?

Any kind of hat.

Hey Guys with Kids doesn't look much better. But I mean, I thought Two and a Half Men was one of the worst shows ever but it's still on like 10 years later.

Deadline:

‘Cleopatra’ Drama From Producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura And Writer Michael Seitzman Lands At NBC With Put Pilot Commitment
By NELLIE ANDREEVA

EXCLUSIVE: In a competitive situation with two networks bidding, NBC has landed Cleopatra, a period drama about the famous Egyptian queen produced by Di Bonaventura Pictures TV and ABC Studios. The project will be written by Michael Seitzman who penned the ABC/ABC Studios drama pilot Americana this past season. Seitzman is executive producing with Lorenzo Di Bonaventura and Dan McDermott.

Cleopatra is one of the most popular figures in ancient history. The last pharaoh of Ancient Egypt, she is known mostly for her beauty and her liaisons with Rome’s Julius Caesar and Mark Antony and her tragic suicide, which was followed by the fall of Egypt and it becoming a Roman province. The NBC project is described as an epic romance set in a world of sorcery, gods and monsters that centers on Cleopatra, Mark Antony and Julius Caesar. The young queen makes a sacred pact with a goddess to win back her throne, igniting a curse and an infamous love triangle that changes the course of history, forever ending the 4,000 year dominion of the Pharaoh.

There have been numerous screen adaptations of the story of Cleopatra, most notably the 1963 movie starring Elizabeth Taylor. There is also a high-profile new Cleopatra movie percolating at Sony, with David Fincher attached to direct, Angelina Jolie to star and Scott Rudin to produce. Surprisingly, there have not been major Cleopatra-centered series projects I can think of… until now. (Cleopatra was recently featured as a recurring character on HBO’s Rome.)

Cleopatra stems from WME-repped Seitzman’s overall deal with ABC Studios where the North Country writer has been since 2008. His pilot Americana last season attracted Phillip Noyce as director and Anthony LaPaglia as star and came very close to a series order. CAA-repped Di Bonaventura Pictures TV also is under an overall deal at ABC Studios. In its first season, the company landed a series on the air, ABC’s upcoming Zero Hour.

This marks ABC Studios’ first major sale outside of ABC this development season. Cleopatra joins several other projects that have received put pilot/pilot production commitments so far: Alex Kurtzman/Bob Orci/Len Wiseman’s Sleepy Hollow at Fox, a McG/Byron Balasco soap at ABC, a Rand Ravich drama at NBC and Hart Hanson’s Backstrom at CBS.

 

[Lily Adler]

Sounds like historic soap opera potential.

 

[Shifty]

NBC could have an interesting drama lineup in a couple of years.

Dracula, Crossbones, Mockingbird Lane, Hannibal, Revolution, Cleopatra.

 

[Duran Man]

That Guys with Kids looks like utter ****e.

 

[HighFivingMF]

I can't take any of you guys seriously if you're going to crap on Animal Practice but not say a word about the **** sandwich that is Guys With Kids.

Maybe I didn't bother watching any previews for Guys with Kids, Sawyer!

 

[wiegeabo]

Guys with Kids at least looks like a crappy show that either NBC or ABC would greenlight.

Animal Hospital, on the other hand...

 

[Sawyer]

Animal Practice = slight indigestion

Guys With Kids = explosive diarrhea

 

[Prison Mike]

Guys with Kids at least looks like a crappy show that either NBC or ABC would greenlight.

Animal Hospital, on the other hand...

Agreed. Guys with Kids looks like the regular crap NBC normally puts out. But I fail to see why it is being singled out as the worst show ever. I know you guys like to exaggerate, but c'mon...

 

[Sawyer]

You guys are the ones exaggerating about Animal Practice.

 

[HighFivingMF]

Both are dumb. Who cares how dumb?

 

[wiegeabo]

We're on an internet message board.

We need to rank everything!

 

[Prison Mike]

Both are dumb. Who cares how dumb?

Agreed
