Why Would You Even Bother Writing Anything, Ever, If You Could Spend All Your Time Just Wrecking Michelle Pfeiffer? / Seth Freilich

Trade News | October 14, 2008 | Comments (9)

David E. Kelley is pitching a new pilot script he’s written, which CBS and NBC are both reportedly interested in. And hold onto your hat, because I’ve got some shocking news to drop in this bitch — the new show is a legal drama!

I know, right? Kelley doesn’t seem the one to jump to new territory like this. I mean, sure, there was “L.A. Law,” but that was so long ago. And “Ally McBeal,” well that wasn’t a legal drama, more of a dramedy. And “Girls Club” was just utter crap. And “The Practice” wasn’t a lega drama, it was … uhm … but “Boston Legal,” which isn’t even done yet, totally wasn’t a legal drama because, well ….

…Sigh. I wonder whether there will be a quirky character in the show.

Umm.... Seth, Girls' Club had infinite possibilities, and I was outraged when it was canceled after only two episodes. How can you develop your characters with only two episodes? You Can't!!! Nice job, again, Fox.

If I were DEK, I would totally be playing "see if they'll eat it," only with TV series. I mean, really. Imagine you're DEK. "Well, they *bought* Girl's Club, but they did cancel it. Does that count as a point or not? Ah, fuck it, let's see if I can sell them another legal drama. This time with Sulu! Wait, what do you mean he has another gig? I'm not talking about a geek convention, here... shit, he's on TV? Network TV? Fuck, that prank I pulled with the Priceline guy in my last show has gone too motherfuckin' far. My bad."

Damn. From looking at the picture, I was hoping it would be The Craft 2. Wouldn't that have been better?

It is The Craft 2. Goth-y, evil-ish teen witch-y types who turn entirely the dark side grow up to become . . . lawyers working for Milton, Chadwick, Waters.
