Rashida Jones and Will McCormack’s recently launched
production company is making a big entrance with a put pilot
commitment at Fox. The network has bought Stuck, a single-
camera comedy that teams Parks & Recreation co-star Jones
and co-executive producer Alexandra Rushfield. The project is
produced by Jones and McCormack’s Le Train Train in
association with Warner Bros. Television where the company
inked a pod deal in January . Penned
by Rushfield, Stuck centers on a “stuck in a rut” middle-
aged woman who works at a bank and gets her “stuck
in childhood” daughter a job there. Within a day, the
daughter is the mother’s boss. While working and living
together, they help each other to get “unstuck.” Jones,
who has no plans to star, executive produces with
McCormack and Rushfield.

TV doesn't need any more of these. (If I've missed any redundancies, feel free to jump in.)
I couldn't agree more. I was reading the description and thinking: really?
ReplyDeleteAnd I know I will probably be attacked by na army of downvotes (yawn), but I really don't see Rashida Jones' appeal. She is OK, but I don't get the hype.
I don't mind Rashida Jones but I'm not convinced she can carry a show of her own.
ReplyDeleteAnd she "has no plans to star," so don't worry about it.
ReplyDeleteWell, damn. I don't know how I missed that bit. Thanks for setting me straight.
ReplyDeleteNo problem. I just realized that I might have come off as snarky there, but I didn't mean to.
ReplyDeleteCan't say the premise has my interest....
