The Hollywood Reporter is saying: “Matt LeBlanc is reteaming with “Friends” co-creator David Crane for “Episodes,” a Showtime/BBC comedy series spoofing the TV business.
Showtime has ordered six half-hour episode of the series, which Crane created with Jeffrey Klarik, for a 2010 premiere on Showtime and BBC Two.
“Episodes,” which will start production in January in London and Los Angeles, centers on a successful British husband-and-wife comedy team thrilled by the prospect of producing an U.S. version of their hit series. But they are soon forced to replace the erudite British lead in the original with the quintessential U.S. comedy star, Matt LeBlanc, who will be playing a version of himself. They begin to sink deeper into the quicksand that is the Hollywood TV business ruled by a legion of network and studio executives.
“We jumped at the chance to get involved with this cockeyed look at network television told through the eyes of unsuspecting British producers who don’t know what hit them when they enter the lion’s den of Hollywood,” Showtime entertainment president Robert Greenblatt said.
TV veterans Klarik and Crane said they will draw upon their experiences of dealing with “too many cooks” in bringing a series to the screen.”
