Only A Total Hollywood Asshole Would Think This Is A Show

from thefutoncritic.com

22 BIRTHDAYS (CBS, New!) - Writer/producers Josh Oakley & Bill Weinstein ("The Simpsons") are set to team with feature director Doug Liman ("Mr. & Mrs. Smith") for a new drama at the Eye, about the Los Angeles-based power players of the finance, sports, politics and the entertainment industry using the semi-regular birthday parties they attend for their elite private school children as a backdrop. The project, which will be set up at Liman's NBC Universal Television-based Hypnotic banner, has a received a script commitment from the network with a six-figure penalty if it doesn't get ordered to pilot. Oakley, Weinstein, Liman and his producing partner Dave Bartis will serve as the executive producers with Liman directing the pilot from a script by Oakley and Weinstein.

So the premise is a bunch of rich assholes sit around and bs (and probably fuck each others wives in various rooms and closets) during a series of privileged kids birthday parties. Hey assholes, 90% of us didn't even know this was a fucking "thing" let alone a worthwhile TV show idea.

Assholes.
