The Pitch
May 20th, 2008 by Wiley CodyIt must have gone something like this:
“Say Jim, do you think we could make an entire television show based solely on musical montages?”
“I don’t know Bill, but I think we should try.”
“And we could make it about basketball and high school and nerds with hearts of gold and mean dads and the mafia.”
“That’s pretty ambitious, Jim, but I think we can do it if we get really attractive actors who deliver emotion-packed 90210-style lines about how they feel well beyond their maturity levels and at a level of self-awareness not attainable by normal people.”
“And we’ll do it all with musical montages?”
“Yep. Thousands of montages. Every week.”
“Yep.“
My lady-friend just loves this show. I don’t get it. And no, that’s not Montana’s license plate in Lucas’ map of the U.S.
