Fall 2007: Ignorant Slut Gets Coffee for Nice Girls
Perhaps possibly coming not so much soon, but maybe eventually, to a TV screen near you:
• Emmy winner Jane Curtin is Jayma Mays' secretary in the ABC comedy pilot Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office.
• Angus MacFadyen (Saw III) is Marisa Tomei's editor and former flame in CBS' The Rich Inner Life of Penelope Cloud. OK, shorter titles, pilot people.
• Lex Medlin (Happy Hour? Bueller?) is Ricki Lake's hubby in ABC's The Middle.
• Jonathan Chase (Veronica Mars' Josh) and Kyle Bornheimer (Blades of Glory) have boarded the CW's Dash 4 Cash.
• Dana Ivey (Oz) is on hand for The Return of Jezebel James (Fox).
• NBC's Area 52 is now titled Area 57, in a crafty if not blatant bid to suck up to ketchup enthusiasts.
All the above is courtesy of Variety and the Reporter, but never, ever from News of the World.

Ok so a lot of people were snarky about your use of the News of the World as a source for a story ( I think I was one of them, and for that I apologize). I know someone would have complained if you hadn't commented on the rumors, because it is news. I understand why you wrote the blurb, and at least you know it was well read.
Having said that... YEAH! Jane Curtain. She's so funny.

Great reference to what Dan Aykroyd used to call Jane on Weekend Update, Matt!

You're right Matt, some shorter titles would definitely be nice.

Agreed, titles like that automatically turn me off to the show. Unless it's a Nickelodeon show, circa 1997.
"Ignorant Slut Gets Coffee" is a show I would watch, however -- the pilot at least. I'd shop that baby around, Matt. Could be a mid-season replacement.

Interesting lead sentence, Matt. I had to read it about three times to sort it all out. Qualifying things much?
