Administrator Toups Posted March 4, 2012 Author Administrator Share Posted March 4, 2012 ABC: The Smart One I hear that, in a quick turnaround, ABC has snatched the multi-camera comedy titled The Smart One after NBC passed. The project, written by Samantha Who? co-creator/executive producer Don Todd, is about dueling sisters. Arrested Development and Ally McBeal alumna [Portia] de Rossi plays one of them, a brilliant and successful woman who has to go to work for her less brainy but more popular sister — a former beauty queen, weather girl … and now big-city mayor. [Ellen] DeGeneres and Todd are executive producing with Lauren Corrao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members wingwalker Posted March 10, 2012 Members Share Posted March 10, 2012 You know I'm a CBS boy, but even I have to agree with you this year. Other than the Modern Day Sherlock Holmes one, none of CBS drama's catch my eye this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Chamberlain Posted April 4, 2012 Members Share Posted April 4, 2012 OK. I really hope ABC don't pick up 666 Park Avenue. Just the name alone strikes me wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted April 26, 2012 Members Share Posted April 26, 2012 I'd be ecstatic to see this, except we don't have the best track record when it comes to adapting Brit-coms for U.S. audiences. And that world is headed up by a man named "Vincent," who was born with the body of a man, but the face of a lion. (j/k) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
