Well…a pilot! …for TV Land! It gets worse and worse the more I write.

It may not sound like much, but I thought we’d never hear from him again after being caught on tape ranting the N word on stage a few years ago. There aren’t too many details yet, but I’m gonna assume Bill Cosby’s not producing this.

Kirstie Alley will be playing a Broadway star and Rhea Perlman is her assistant. Richards will be the limo driver. Wait. Why are we talking about Kramer when RHEA MOTHAFRICKIN PEARLMAN is in the house! Holy Jesus I love that woman. I watched Cheers as a child and dreamed of becoming a bitter waitress. Now look at me! Goal accomplished!

Wait. SCREW YOU RHEA PERLMAN!! I should have modeled my life after Rebecca Howe. She wasn’t always the happiest person, but she at least enjoyed a few burgers and got thin again in her forties. My point is, hell yeah I’ll watch this show! It will be a blast from the past, and I’ll support any network that still gives Betty White her own parking space.

The pilot tapes next week. Fingers crossed!

    So…he gets forgiven for his repulsive racism and gets a new sitcom, but Mel Gibson is still villified? I don’t understand.

    Mel Gibson has gotten plenty of work and exposure since the first rant, and he got more after the second. People keep seeing his movies.. he’s made millions after his antisemitic commens and threateneing to bury his girlfriend in the rose garden. This guy Richards gets a pilot. Which may not even become a real show. Are we really saying life is unfair?

    Speaking of ABC…anyone else watch Happy Endings? Love that show! But we’re keeping it cazsh.

    I’m not saying life is unfair. I’m saying neither creep should be getting attention or money.

    There are so many folks out there with more talent and tolerance than either one of them and deserve the chance. But that won’t happen because there is money in watching a racist jackass and a wifebeater anti semite try to redeem themselves. pfft

    @sarcasatire Happy Endings is amahzing! Unfortunately, I read that they’re pulling both HE and Don’t Trust the B… (which I also like, not as much as HE, but still funny) in March for some other comedies. Both shows will have about 5 episodes left and ABC hasn’t said if or when they”ll show them.

    First Community, now HE! Network t.v. is really pissing me off!

    Ironically, his new show is on BET.
