"HBO/WB-style sitcom pilot"

...that's a wide, wide gamut in terms of quality.

The "hipness" of that blog made me feel like I needed to run off and hide to eat my lunch so noone would see who I ate lunch with. Or something. Who let all the cool kids on the intranets?

Will it be somebody with a handheld camera looking over the shoulder of someone typing out jokes?

"Casting an HBO/WB-style sitcom pilot"

Aren't HBO and WB contradictions in style?

Isn't one like The Sopranos, and the other like Matlock?

I did like the old-school Degrassi picture that went with the entry. : )

Well, the WB runs Gilmore Girls which is the best drama on TV right now. Though granted, the last season was a little weak.

I'm reminded of Big Blogger. And that's not in a good way.

The link said, "Blogs are so hot right now! I mean, it's only natural that someone will want to cash in on this amazing phenomenon..."

Is that why the "online journal phenomenon" never took off? I knew we were doing something wrong. No wonder I'm still poor. I never cashed in. Where do I go to do this cashing in thing?

That's like saying cockroaches are the best insects on the planet.
