I have only seen a couple mentions lately about the television project, Boldy Going Nowhere by Charley Day, Rob McElhenney and their fellow It’s Always Sunny in Philadephia crew. (Hi Glenn)
Announced last year, Boldly Going Nowhere is a sci-fi show set on a spaceship and, according to Variety, is a “high-concept comedy set in the future and focused on the mundane world of a spaceship captain when he’s not on a mission.” But according to Comic Mix, “McElhenny, Day and Howerton do not consider the series as science fiction, but rather a unique twist on the workplace sitcom.”
David Hornsby, who Sunny fans know as Rickety Cricket, stars in the show along with Arrested Development’s Tony Hale (who plays a character named Robot).
I would just like to say…for the record…that this project sounds a lot like a project idea I submitted to Paramount during a Star Trek screenwriting contest a few years back. I called it Star Trek: The Night Crew, which is a half hour sci-fi comedy about the “Second Stringer” crew that works the helm of the Enterprise when the primary characters are off duty. Instead of fighting the Klingons they have to deal with mundane everyday problems like the ship’s toilets getting backed up or the Captain’s chair getting a stain on it. The last thing they want to do is ever have to call a RED ALERT and wake up the Captain and the first string crew.
As for Boldly Going Nowhere, apparently a pilot was made and they weren’t all too thrilled so Fox ordered a second pilot and brought in heavyweight Larry Charles (Borat, Bruno, Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm) to presumably make it better (and possibly more Sci-Fi-ey).
Where is it now? Unfortunately according to io9, Glenn Howerton, doesn’t really know if this “pet project” will ever see the light of day. Hey guys…if you’re stuck…I have a few ideas
“It’s like looking into a mirror, after you’ve done a ton of coke off of it. Clearly, Glenn Beck is as sincere in what he says and does as I am in believing that baby carrots are trying to turn me gay.“ — Stephen Colbert
“Because if they can take Glenn Beck’s burst appendix to save his life, who’s to say that they can’t take out your healthy appendix tomorrow and eat it in front of you and your children?“ – Jon Stewart
My personal arch-nemesis, Dominic Arizona Bonuccelli, has upped the ante by starring in his own TV show on the National Geographic Channel.
The description of National Geographic Channel’s “Lonely Planet Roads Less Traveled: Spain” says:
“They’re sending one of their most intrepid photojournalists, Dominic Bonuccelli, into the country’s northern provinces. His mission, to get off the beaten track and discover what can be found down the road less traveled.”
Well played, Arizona. Well played indeed. You may have one this round, but ultimately Diggz shall emerge victorious.
I announced this project on last week’s Crew Show…a sitcom based around a family of zombies. The Munsters meets Married With Children.
I call it “Meet the Zombies” (it’s just a working title). The show exists in a world where there are normal people, and then some people are zombies. In public, the zombies have to act normal, covering up little things like limbs falling off and their insatiable desire to consume braaaaiiiins (lest they be discovered as zombies and decapitated) . The show focuses on a couple of Zombies and their two children.
I’m thinking Keanu will be perfect as the Dad. I think he’s ready to make the jump to TV much like his buddy Charlie Sheen did.
Anyway, I believe I’ve just discovered the show’s theme song…
Geico, Lawyers.com, Procter & Gamble, Progressive Insurance and SC Johnson all pulled their ads from Glenn Beck’s Fox show this week after he called President Obama a “racist” during a July 28th broadcast. True Capitalism at its finest. Teabag that for while, Beck.
