i gotta say, this could be kind of funny. fox is developing a tv adaptation loosely based on the website ‘texts from last night.’ when was the last time we had a comedic sitcom based on the lives of those of us in our 20′s? perhaps this will help fill the void.
writer steve holland (‘the big bang theory’) is set to pen the script with sony pictures & happy madison producing. the tv version of the show will be based on “the whole idea of racy – and sometimes embarrassing – communication, particularly among the twentysomething set.”
while this may be hard to translate into a 30-minute show, it definitely has potential. people tend to do some funny things under the influence! case in point, the ‘texts from last night’ website. readers log on to post texts they’ve sent or received from friends in the midst of intoxication or during a late-night stupor. let’s see if the writers can use the popularity of the website to give fox the hit that they’re looking for.
