CBS is hot for teacher — Bad Teacher, that is. The network has ordered a comedy pilot based on the 2011 big-screen black comedy of the same name starring Cameron Diaz.
Happy Endings writer Hilary Winston will write the single-camera laugher about on a foul-mouthed divorcee who becomes a teacher to find her next husband. Winston will executive-produce with the film's scribes Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupinsky, as well as Sam Hansen and Jimmy Miller.

...what?
ReplyDeleteNot the worst premise to make a trashy comedy. I approve.
ReplyDeleteIt will probably be crap, though. I mean, it's more of a movie narrative, and It didn't went all that good as such. But still, I kinda want a comedy with an unsympathetic female protagonist.
what's up with the epidemic of loosely adapting movies into tv series lately?
ReplyDeleteWhat's next? American Pie the Series?
If they are adapting movies into tv shows at least make them half-decent movies. Anger Management, Bad Teacher... they're forgettable films for a reason
ReplyDeleteId watch that show actually. It couldn't be worse than the straight to DVD's
ReplyDeleteWell Hilary is a good scribe, i hope this turn out better than the movie.
ReplyDeleteI might check this out, if it gets a series order.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely couldn't be worse than the DVD ones but just making a point :D
ReplyDeleteI bet Eugene Levy would be the neighbor giving sex advice to all the kids in the neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteexactly my thought
ReplyDeleteNot sure about a comedy based on that stupid film but a comedy based on teachers might work, it did in the UK.
ReplyDeleteI liked Bad teacher so... I want to give this a go.
