Have People Seen The Preview For This Show "Mulaney" Which Is Just "Seinfeld" Except Awful?
Saw this trailer this morning. Ummmm, that’s Seinfeld. It’s not kind of like Seinfeld, it doesn’t have little scenes that remind you of Seinfeld, it’s the plot to Seinfeld. John Mulaney plays a comedian/writer in New York named John Mulaney. The show opens and closes with stand-up bits. He pals around with his two friends, one girl, and lives across the hall from some quirky, sometimes sage-like guy. There’s a short, fat man who everyone hates and when he’s at the door they say “Ittttttt’s Andre!” rather than “Helloooooo Newman!” Mulaney even says “the premise of the show is a non-premise” which is just a fancy way of saying “it’s a show about nothing.” It IS Seinfeld (except for the all the parts where it looks fucking horrible). How is this even legal? You can just steal the entire plot to an iconic show? Looks like it’s time for me to march down to FOX and pitch them this idea I’ve been thinking up: high school chem teacher gets cancer and in an attempt to make money for his family before he dies, he begins selling crystal meth with his deadbeat former student and ends up in over his head. Gonna blow their fucking minds.
