Well, Friends is going off the air tonight. While all of the fans boohoo, I secretly rejoice. Not because I hated the show (I have no opinion of it), but because it means there's some room at the top of the ratings for the pilot I'm currently shooting. What's that? You didn't know I was shooting a pilot? Well, it's been a very hush-hush deal so far, but yes, I'm doing a little tv thing with some very high-level talent. I don't want to give too much away, but let's just say that some major stars of the screen and I have devised a new spin on a classic tale. Okay, since I'm trying to build up a bit of buzz, I'll give you a little more; here's what I've been sending out to the networks:
Hey America: strap on some diapers because your Thursday nights are about to get a little more spookalicious.
In a deserted castle in Transylvania, something evil is brewing. A terrible force has been unleashed, bent on the destruction of the earth, and only two men can stop it. The two most feared men on earth, that is. Kirk Cameron (as Dr. Frankenstein) reunites with Cheech Marin (as the Wolf Man) to destroy evil through some punching, some lunching (they're food critics during the day), and some evil munching. Watch as they attempt to thwart the dreaded Robot Dracula (Ralph Macchio) from destroying the earth, in the world's first sitcom/sci fi/food criticism/musical/reality/televangelism show. The only way to find out who wins is to WATCH! Or maybe just go over to Kirk Cameron's house and ask him, but he's doing some remodelling, so it's better just to WATCH!
If that's not Must See TV, then this isn't the world's most popular website. NBC, if you want a piece, you're going to have to outbid Telelmundo. And I don't want to share too many details of their offer, but they did say something about free hair cuts for Mr. Cameron, along with a recurring spot on Sabado Gigante for yours truly. You don't even need to pay me when you toss out something like that. Have a good weekend, jive turkeys.
