« on: February 03, 2016, 06:44:01 AM »
Shades of Burt Luddin's Love Buffet...

NBC has ordered a pilot for what would be a real game show mixed with a scripted sitcom about the backstage goings-on.  More details (but not many more) here:

I respect Betsy Thomas' frequent efforts to try something different.

I just wish she'd try something good once in a while.
