Whoa Horsey! Let’s all be hopeful that something really good happens here, but can we contain both the positives and negatives and let this play out for at least half a season? Many “great pilot scirpts” and series have been canceled on HBO …for many reasons not related to the quality of the show or writing . 20 seconds, let alone one or two episodes of stupendously funny HBO branded commedy won’t bring “Hello, Ladies” to the marathon level of “Curb,” among other HBO shows. Patience my friends. Cross your fingers and shut the F#@ck Up!
Glad someone realized merchant was the talented one in that duo. This looks very funny, meanwhile Ricky is working on Derrick for Netflix.
This is going to be so awesome!
I also hate everything and am mad no one likes my script!
20 seconds of lame. No thanks.
