• Good for him…

  No way Playboy flies more than four episodes on NBC.

• Way to go Jeff. You don’t want to be on any show where the producers think Eddie Cibrian is the right choice.

• Great, now the Hephner fans (all two of them) can quit crying that he didn’t get Playboy.

• Honestly, this is a win for him. This show has a better chance of succeeding than Playboy, which lets face it, if you’re not showing titties what’s the point? Greenblatt should have let that one stay at Showtime.

• def worked out better for him. even if neither project gets past the pilot, this pedigree is better on his resume.

  • BOSS is already picked up for 8 eps.

• Why did Bob Greenblatt pass on Hephner? He usually does a great job with casting? Why did he screw up here? If he wanted someone more well known for Playboy, fine? But, why did he choose Eddie? Personally, I would have gotten Jack Coleman to be the lead in Playboy. What went wrong?

  • I’ll tell you why Greenbacks passed on Hephner. Heph wasn’t in his crony pool. In other words, Bob’s “people” would profit more from casting Cibrian… and yes, owe him.

    Best thing Hephner can do is silently stick them the finger by killing it on Boss. Hope he does.

    Note to Bob: Karma doesn’t give a shit about your people.

• Good for Jeff! Must feel pretty damn good to suddenly find himself on a series with 8 eps guaranteed, and so soon after dodging a bullet with the Playboy pilot debacle. I’m convinced that show will turn out to be Burlesque as a 1-hr, and another heavily promoted, overhyped embarrassment for NBC, a la the awesomely bad The Cape.

• i’ve read the pilot. IT’S INCREDIBLE. it’s definitely old HBO quality. Albrecht is a dick, but the guy has sense like nobody else.

  Too bad Starz isn’t doing Cocaine Cowboys series instead of Magic City. Owner of the hotel is good option, but the bigger scale would be better.

  • Which pilot script is incredible?

• This is good news for him. Because it will only be 8 episodes, he could still do hellcats if it gets picked up for a second season.

• What the hell? How do you know this? Bob is a fair man and wouldn’t stoop to doing something like that.

• poor guy. Doesn’t he know that no STARZ shows succeed? This sounds awful.
