Today and tomorrow I get the pleasure of helping out on Rob's new situation comedy pilot.  He's been keeping that uncomely side of his life pretty secret here at Ricochet I've noticed.  Well I've never worked with Rob and I can't wait to see him in action.  We'll see just how squishy he is as a boss. I'll report back.

I bet he rubs his hands together and hisses, "excellent..."

If he gets too difficult, just leave copies of Bleak House lying around.

Not to worry - he has taken the sexual harassment course, so knows all about it.

Hey!  Let me pitch my pilot idea to you:  A girl living in an apartment in --get this-- Istanbul, runs a sort of blog.  She has cats, and a bunch of whacky friends, all of whom contribute to a series of surefire comical misadventures.  I tell ya, the country is so ready for a Turkey-baste, er, based, sitcom.

What to call it . . .

A Hindu girl. Or a Catholic.  Wait, how about a Jewish girl.

Call it something that reflects the cats' bouncing off the walls.

My bet is that Rob is not a squishy boss at all.  I'm thinking he's more of a whip wielding task master who yells, "Funnier!  Make it funnier!"  Writers emerge from one-on-one creative sessions with him with tears streaming down their faces and welts on the back of the knees.

Oh.  But I sure do you hope you have fun and make lots of money, Denise!

Actually, he likes it faster and funnier.

Come on, folks! In order for a plot to work, it has to be at least passably plausible.

Throw in a whacky neighbor who always drops by uninvited and you got something to work with.

Ya, I know -- make the neighbor -- like -- to not ever show his face. Wouldn't that be cool?

Oh, Oh, OH, also -- like -- make him super politically correct. Enough to make you barf.

Too bad Don Knotts isn't still with us.  He'd be great as the neighbor, Faisal Fife.

A surreptitious poke in the abdomen would tell ya.
