This is coming out of the Fuzzy Door/Rough House production group. Think Righteous Gemstones, Vice Principals, Eastbound & Down. Think Danny McBride. That means it's going to be an over-the-top broad satire/comedy, with the lines blurred between childish humor and bad taste.
I find all the Danny McBride shows to be just too much. I watch them for a few episodes, and then realize they aren't even funny. Righteous Gemstones was the first one I've made to the end of a season (on the strength of the other actors).
Note that no network is involved, or has picked it up. This is just a production idea.

Agreed. I don't hold out much hope this SatB TV show --- if it even goes to air --- will be very good. Besides the "talent" involved, it's actually kind of a dumb movie, saved only by the charming actors involved.
If TV wants to mine redneck cinema for ideas for a great TV show, they should look at WHITE LIGHTNING or even EVERY WHICH WAY BUT LOOSE.

I'm as big of a "Smokey and the Bandit" fan as anyone but I dont kn ow how you turn that into a weekly series unless each season centers on a single run cross country.
Now "Every Which Way but Loose"? I'd be all over "the adventures of Philo Beto"
Assuming this is done as a period piece, it will only take a few moments of screen time to establish the context.
But no end of viewers are going to wonder why they don't have cell phones.
EXACTLY!
The cell phones have rather replaced the CB radio in the car....even though one is always, with the former, one cell tower away from being without communications.
Now, I could understand it because I have CB radios in my vehicles......but by now, everyone should know I am an antique, anyhow. I could understand it........but I don't think I would get into a show that thumbs its nose to the law.
BUT BE THAT AS IT MAY.......who would they get to play such an innocent cowgirl to be of Sally Fields, a he hunk as Burt, a jerk as Jackie........what Tarzan are they going to get to play the jilted groom?
