In a very competitive
situation with all four
networks buying the
project in the room, CBS
has landed a single-
camera comedy from
Horrible Bosses writers John Francis Daley and
Jonathan Goldstein with a big put pilot
commitment. The project, titled Punching Out ,
from 20th TV and studio-based Chernin
Entertainment, is in the vein of R-rated 2011
comedy Horrible Bosses, about friends who
conspire to murder their awful bosses — the
movie grossed $210 million worldwide. Punching
Out revolves around thirtysomething guys who
hate their jobs and make a pact to go back to
when they were happiest — working at the mall.
Daley and Goldstein are writing and will executive
produce with Peter Chernin and Katherine Pope.

I love "Horrible Bosses" but I had no idea John Francis Daley was one of the writers. What a surprise! I hope the sequel comes out in the near future, and wish the duo good luck with their TV series.
ReplyDeleteJohn Francis Daley? As in Sweets on Bones? Who knew? I have to say that working at the mall was no where near job bliss for me. Perhaps they should look at changing careers or companies.
ReplyDeleteWhat's up with all the put pilot commitments this year?
ReplyDeleteAaaaanyway.... not really feeling this concept.....
