Bodly Going Nowhere

Stardate 02-09-2009

I've got some excellent news about a new show that I hope will get picked up this fall. The creators and writers of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, Rob McElhenney, Charlie Day, and Glenn Howerton, have developed a science fiction comedy for Fox called Boldly Going Nowhere. Here is the tag line for the show:

"Centering on the crew of a spaceship, which is led by a rogue captain. The stories explore what happens between the adventures and how the crew members take care of daily routine things on the spaceship. Single Cam."

I was most excited to see that Tony Hale, who played Buster on Arrested Development, is attached to the project. He will play the ships Android. There are also a couple of familiar faces from Sunny who will start in Boldly Going Nowhere. David Hornsby, who plays Rickety Cricket, will be one of the main officers and Atremis Pebdani, who plays Artemis on Sunny will play a character named Startemis.

(Those of you who don't watch It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia need to start. You can catch almost all the episodes on Hulu or you can buy the DVDs. I noticed that the full seasons are on sale at Costco for only $19.99)

Here is a YouTube clip from last summer's ComicCon of the guys from Sunny talking about the new show.



I also read that Ben Stiller is developing a comedy for Fox called, The Station. The show will take place in South America and is about a covert CIA group who is secretly working to bring a new dictator into power. I can't wait.
