Back in September I mentioned that Bob Odenkirk and David Cross were developing an new sitcom for HBO. Well, it's six months later and David has announced on the pair's official website that the show is coming to your TV soon:
HBO has officially picked up the pilot Bob and I pitched them and wrote. We should be shooting in LA in the beginning of MAY. We'll keep you posted on exactly when and where (we'll have room for 150 audiencers). We are both very, very excited about it and feel it's really strong and important to the health of America. We know that America is hurting right now and old people like to say that "Laughter's the best medicine" So, keep hope old people, an injection of 10cc's of funny is about to be shot all up in your funny bones!
Meanwhile, according to Dead Frog who heard from MTV Movies Blog:
It‚Äôs currently called ‚ÄúDavid‚Äôs Situation‚Äù with Cross playing himself. In the show, the comic has quit show biz and is working for inflight magazines. He lives with two roommates in a gated community, each the polar opposite on the political scale – one left and one right. David: ‚ÄúAnd I‚Äôm right in the middle.‚Äù
And here's the best part:
[T]he pair intend to keep the sitcom act break structure and break them up with fake commercials, which will allow the pair to exercise their considerable sketch comedy chops directly.
This is the best news I've heard. Ever!
