Post-Sopranos (and to a certain extent post-Six Feet Under, The Wire and Deadwood), HBO has been trying to find its signature shows. They’ve had some success with comedy, but though Entourage has been running for a while now, many (like Flight of the Concords, Extras, Eastbound and Down) have had one or two season runs by the nature of their creators. It’ll be interesting to see how long they can go with Bored to Death –it has the potential to go for a while – mostly because both Jason Schwartzman and Zach Galifianakis are movie stars. But these days, maybe you can do both TV and movies. My review of the Blu-ray of Bored to Death: Season One after the jump.

You’ve gone and done it again, Hollywood! Oh, you! News came out last night announcing that Fox plans to remake the 1989 cult classic dark comedy, “Heathers” for TV. The remake will be written by Mark Rizzo, whose only previous credit includes writing a pilot for a series named “Zip” for NBC, which never got picked up. He will also be assisted by “Sex and the City” writer, Jenny Bucks, who will produce the project. It’s still unclear if this remake will be a TV movie or a TV series. What is clear though, at least to me, is that the film does not need to be remade. To begin to shake your head in disappointment as you find out some more details, hit the jump.
