Michael Eisner is back in the mouse house, this time as a TV producer. ABC has bought a period single-camera comedy project that Eisner is executive producing. Set in the 1980s, the untitled comedy, written by Jeff Greenstein, chronicles the early days of celebrity chefs Mary Sue
Milliken and Susan Feniger’s unique business partnership and friendship. Former Will & Grace executive producer Greenstein, repped by ICM, is executive producing with Eisner, Noel Bright and Steve Cohen, while Milliken and Feniger serve as producers. Chefs and business partners for over 25 years, Milliken and Feniger own the chain of Border Grill restaurants and its gourmet taco truck offshoot. They star in Food Network’s Too Hot Tamales and have appeared on Bravo’s Top Chef Masters.

Bam!
What a great idea! I will watch for sure.
Didn’t the last celebrity chef comedy flop faster than a bad soufleé…?
The only thing worse then these two women’s personalities… their cooking.
There is no one who cook better, or who are nicer human beings than Mary Sue and Susan. Too bad you are such a jerk rhat you can’t see that,
Jenna Elfman and Janeane Garofalo.
Casting Janeane Garofalo would insure a quick death for this show. Half the world hates her, plus she’s nothing like Susan Feniger, who even though a bit gruff, is much brighter and fun than that sourpuss Garofalo could ever be.
Jenna Elfman would be great as Mary Sue, though.
Okay fine. A brunette Christen Chenowith, then.
*Kristin Chenoweth*
Yay Jeff Greenstein. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy!
Mary Sue and Susan are fabulously talented ladies with a very entertaining life story. Should be great.
Another Jeff Greenstein pilot? Well, maybe the 87th time is the charm.
Really excited about this show! Love Jeff Greenstein!
Fantastic! With execs like Steve Cohen involved — who created the laugh out loud hit comedy classic “Jackie and Bobbie”, this project is guaranteed to be hilarious! Because nobody’s funnier than Steve Cohen!
I definitely agree
How many times at bat does Jeff Greenstein get before the town realizes he can’t write? Sounds like a boring premise too. This is why TV sucks.
I’m look forward to checking this out! Can’t wait! I really enjoyed watching Mary Sue and Susan Feniger on Top Chef. Tonight should be a good one with Nyesha from Chef Hunter!
Wow, I am so excited for this! Can’t wait to see something a little deeper than the usual Iron Chef-type fare.
