ABC has handed a script commitment with penalty to Dumb F*ck, a single-camera comedy from FishBowl Worldwide Media. Written by Hank Nelken (Saving Silverman), the project is about an average guy and his brilliant wife who, due to financial hardship, are forced to live with her family of highly intelligent but emotionally stunted geniuses. Vin Di Bona, Bruce Gersh, Susan Levison and Shaleen Desai executive produce. FishBowl is repped by CAA, Nelken by Gersh.
NBC has bought The Blacklist, a drama from Sony Pictures TV. Written by Jon Bokenkamp, the project is centered around an international, Kaiser Soze-like criminal who mysteriously surrenders himself to the Feds and offers to help hunt down the very men he’s spent his entire life protecting. Davis Entertainment’s John Davis and John Fox executive produce with John Eisendrath. Bokenkamp and Eisendrath are with ICM Partners; Bokenkamp is managed by Brian Lutz.

Congrats Susan. Don’t take notes from Di Bona.
OK, Pet Peeve. Instead of coming up with a ballsy title that is obscene and therefore can never be the real title of the show, why not come up with a good title that could actually work? Doesn’t that show that the writer has some actual talent? If you want to show you have attitude– put it in the writing, not by making up a title that is never going to happen.
If she’s so brilliant, why are they in such financial difficulty that they have to move back in with her parents? And why the profane title? It’s not as if it’s ever going to air with that.
Dumb WHAT???
How did that slip past Disney?
Perhaps it’s time to retire the English language.
Add to Decline And Fall Of Western Civilization Department.
How are they going to market “Dumb F*ck”?
And, what is with this new trend of asterisk-censored sitcom titles?
Blacklist sounds cool… on any other network. NBC is just such a non-starter.
