• At least this one has an actual premise behind it. But how long can the joke sustain?

• Okay, i was being snarky, but I just read a couple of posts and I can see how this got sold. The posts read like 30-second to one-minute snippets of conversations between the girl and granny, and the posts I read also could be A-story or B-story arcs for episodes.

• Sounds great to me. Something different. Most networks won’t consider anything with an older female lead, even paired with a young one.

• This should be a reality show with the two of them it doesn’t need to be a sitcom they are very funny together. The trend is clear if you are a comedy writer you must have a blog for every potential comedy pilot you are thinking of writing on spec. Don’t write the script on spec, spend your time on the blog it has a better chance of selling to a network. If the concept is funny it will work as a blog then it will be noticed faster it won’t be just another script in the stack to be read.

• This concept with Bruckheimer backing it ought to be a surefire winner. CBS is definitely picking up the most winners this fall. There should be no reason they don’t dominate next year. Pair this with 2 Broke Girls and the new CSI-type series from the Homeland guys with Person Of Interest and it’s over for the competition.

• Such a great blog! The audio between granny and Kayli is a nice touch.

• Seems this could become a winner. Capturing two great audiences, pairing the young & elder, providing there’s substance here. More elder actors interacting with younger – teamwork – is good for business as well as both better understanding each generation; a good learning experience for both. And… it’ll be nice to see parts as “grandchild is my wingman” in this too. Love the concept.

• This is going to be so good! I can’t wait to watch it. I think this will be a show with a huge audience type.

• This is “throw sh$t to the wall and see if it sticks.” Upside is that it could be Golden Girls meets Friends. The downside is that it could be like that show with Ernest Borgnine a few years ago. Considering CBS has the worst track record, and the most hamfisted approach to comedy projects I would not count on this to go anywhere. At least Wings is on DVD
