I thought the script was actually good...


I work at a management firm and read the script a few months ago when they were casting the pilot. I was very surprised at how much I actually enjoyed it (I'm usually pretty picky since I'm a writer myself), but apparently all the footage that's been produced has been terrible. Wonder what got lost in translation. Have to admit when I saw Brandon T. Jackson in the lead I thought that was a bad sign. But the script I read was very funny and featured a lot of Eddie Murphy! I was surprised to hear CBS hadnt picked it up.

What purpose did they have for the pilot if they didn't use it to gauge how the series could be shot closer to the script? I just have a hard time believing there's nothing there worth saving.
