TV Show News of the Day: A crazy flood of TV news has been gushing out in recent days.
Hot on the heels of a reports that both The Simpsons and Dexter are locked in financial negotiations that may end both shows, a slew of new and exciting development deals has emerged.
The Coen Brothers are set to make their first foray into television — with a comedy no less — according to Deadline. The Oscar-winning directing duo will produce a project penned by Cedar Rapids writer Phil Johnston.
The hourlong sitcom, HarveKarbo, “follows the title character — an ill-tempered LA private investigator whose cases frequently involve the depraved doings of the Hollywood elite — and his deadbeat friends in Los Angeles’ El Segundo.”
Meanwhile, Jon Favreau (Swingers, Iron Man) is reportedly attached to two exciting TV projects: A single-camera comedy for CBS called Tweaked, and an X-Files-meets-West Wing sci-fi drama for ABC called Ex-Comm, being co-written by Fringe co-creator Roberto Orci, Robot Chicken co-creator Seth Green, and Superman Returns/X-Men 2 co-scribe Michael Dougherty.
No word yet on when any of these projects might see the light of day.
