the peacock & david tennant: the doctor is real in
According to the Hollywood Reporter, David Tennant (ZOMFGAFAFH!@@!!$%#HOLYCRAP) has been tapped to star in an American pilot–one that’s been waiting for a star for two years and that’s being developed by BermanBraun, the production company run by Gail Berman and Lloyd Braun, the man who co-created The Sopranos and, as a network boss at ABC, greenlit such net-saving programs as Grey’s Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, and a little show we like to call Lost.
The show is a legal dramedy called “Rex Is Not Your Lawyer” and focuses on Rex Alexander, a top Chicago litigator who begins suffering panic attacks and takes up coaching clients to represent themselves in court.
First of all, I love the title.
Second of all, I love the idea of these awesomeface people showing up at the Peacock. They’re not running the network by any means, but it’s good news for serious. Lots of talent showing up over there … I’m liking the way the 2010-2011 season is looking so far.
And third of all–DAVID TENNANT. HOLY GOD, THANK YOU, GREAT BRITAIN.
