• She plays his conniving EX-girlfriend, who is trying to weasel her way back into his heart. Nisa is his current love interest/study buddy.

• ABC is going to have a tv show with the word BITCH in it?

  • Don’t worry — the PTC will be along soon enough to protect the eardrums of America’s youth!

    (Although honestly, yeah, that should not be the title…)

  • Don’t Trust the Bitch will end up like Shit my Dad Says. The PTC will have a field day with “Don’t Trust the Bitch” lol

• Well, Paul Lee does seem to be taking creative risks. So, why not try a risky title outside of the norm.

  • Paul Lee is taking creative risks? Bringing back TGIF? Picking up a reheated of Bosom Buddies? So far, he’s only nicer than McPherson, not smarter or more creative.
    Let’s talk in a year and see which of this visionary network president’s shows is still on the air and which, fewer still, will be beloved by the viewing audience.

• This is what it’s come to, that bitch is an accepted everyday synonym for woman. I hope they change it.

• Yes, let’s try and recapture some of that early 90′s “The Nanny” magic!

  • Well that’s what TV Land is all ab00t with the original series. (Sorry, vacationing in Toronto this week) Taking sitcom stars of yesteryear and putting them in new/old shows.

    It’s comfort food TV, n’est ce pas?

  • Hey – don’t knock “The Nanny”. It may not be highbrow entertainment, but it did very well for CBS in some tough time periods, and has had a very healthy afterlife in syndication. And some of the episodes – especially the early ones – are pretty darned funny.

    I was always surprised that CBS didn’t develop a follow-up series for Fran, given how well that series did for them.

• Spinoff to be called ‘Bastard…’.

• So I assume writers were so clever and named the bad roomate Bitch.

• Did no one notice it says WORKING TITLE?

• I read the script and I don’t necessarily think the character is a “bitch”– selfish, slutty, loud and crass, but not really that “bitchy”. It was a fun read. Hoping they come up with a better title.

• Who cares if bitch is in the title? Not me.

• SethJ, TGIF isn’t creatively risky. However, Pan Am and Poe are both very risky concepts. Nellies right when she says that so far Paul Lee and Bob Greenblatt are picking edgier/ more out of the box programming than their predecessors
