News about Reno 911! Star

On Tuesday, at the TCA Press Tour, FX GM John Landgraf made a few announcements, but none pleased us more here at IGN than the news that they'd ordered a comedy pilot from Reno 911! season 1 dvd's Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant called Alabama. Now before you start thinking that Alabama is about wild-eyed southerners, or even "The Inbred Brothers" of Lennon and Garant's sketch from The State, it is, in fact, an comedy set in outer space; set aboard the United Nations peacekeeping spaceship: THE USS ALABAMA. We the viewer will be catching up with the crew six years into their seven year mission to maintain peace and enforce treaties between planets in their jurisdiction: Sector 187-G.
The Following questions are a view to LENNON
Q:would they want you to change to Galaxy Nuts or something?
A:Oooh. Now that you pitched it, I don't hate the idea of calling it Galaxy Nuts. Hang on. Let me get over to my computer and just a quick "find/replace" and now working title Galaxy Nuts. Yeah, if we were doing this show for a network it would not be happening. As proven by our history with network TV. In fact, there was a show like this that the Always Sunny in Philadelphia guys did called Boldly Going Nowhere - which was aStar Trek complete series spoof for FOX that didn't go anywhere. It was quite funny actually.
Q:In the time since you started on cable, cable has now become the place to be. The place where actors and writers are dying to work. What's your take on the new cable landscape?
A:If you look at cable, hands down, anything ground-breaking that's happened on TV in the past ten, fifteen years from The Sopranos seasons 1-6 dvd collection to Mad Men box setto Breaking Bad dvd 1-3 has really all come up out of cable. We have been lured away from cable, which honestly is the only place we belong given our sensibilities. I mean we did an episode of Reno 911! dvd which was a note-for-note parody of Waiting for Godot, where Junior and I are waiting for Bush's motorcade to come by. And that's the kind of thing we want to be doing. Our forays into network TV have been disasters. I think that's why were so pleased right now to be working with FX. You can say that network TV isn't that great, but that's not true all the time. I think what you can say is that things made by committees often don't turn out that good. And the bigger committee you have making your piece of art, the shoddier the outcome will be. Because, ultimately, you can't please everyone. (Edit by Camille)
