“This program may not be suitable for our less insensitive viewers…”
The NBC network in the States has greenlit a series pilot about a straight woman and her gay female best friend who are “navigating life and love in Los Angeles” called… wait for it… My Best Friend Is A Lesbo.
Written by real life best friends/roommates Sascha Rothchild and Randi Barnes, the show is set to be produced by veteran of awesome TV, Josh Schwartz, who already has shows like The O.C, Gossip Girl and Chuck to his name.
Regarding the title, you can fully expect My Best Friend Is A Lesbo to be toned downa little before hitting screens- American audiences are notoriously flighty about such things. ABC altered the title of upcoming dram-edy Good Christian Bitches to Good Christian Belles pending audience outrage, and Apartment 23 also once had a longer, less respectful title.
My suggestion for a replacement title, before that crazy Parents Television Council burn down 30 Rock, home of NBC: GFF’s.
Has anyone got Josh Schwartz’ email?
