I thought Penoza's title was changed to "Red Widow?"
ReplyDeletedo we have any word witch new ABC series will be picked up for this fall?
ReplyDeleteHum, the description of Penoza should say "based on the Dutch format itself based on the French format", because I could swear this is the synopsis of the first season of Mafiosa, created in 2006 (except that in Mafiosa, Sandra's uncle is assassinated, not her husband).
ReplyDeleteI like the ambition, but this type of show will not work on ABC, this kind of premise is better suited for cable.
I'm glad they changed the name from Penoza....it sounds too much like penis.
ReplyDelete"Meh" on both. They're both show's I'll eventually check out, but nothing I'm particularly looking forward to. (as I do every year though, crossing my fingers Kyle will get a hit show this time around)
