Well, this makes me very happy…
Not too long ago, I, along with 400,000+ other people were introduced to a canned-pilot-of-a-show called Nobody’s Watching. It was posted “anonymously” (actually by its creator, Bill Lawrence, creator of NBC’s Scrubs) to YouTube.com in three parts, in an attempt to introduce it to an audience that otherwise might have never of heard it. I laughed out loud… at work… repeatedly.
TV.com gives this summary of the show's premise:
“Two guys from Ohio, life-long best friends and devoted TV watchers are unimpressed by the quality of the current sitcoms on TV, far from the classics of old. They send a tape expressing this to all the Network executives in Hollywood and finally the WB answers the call.
The Network challenges them to come up with a better sitcom, and while they do that, they'll work and live on a studio soundstage, in front of cameras and a live studio audience.
While they create a sitcom, it turns out they actually ARE the sitcom. They are always on camera and under the constant supervision and manipulation of the network execs.”
Well, it appears that this once-canned-pilot is finally getting its big shot.
I’m laughing at the thought of it already… Here is the pilot in three parts, if you haven't seen it already… and if you didn’t know about LJ’s YouTube.com integration yet… Enjoy. ;D
