Financial Meltdown Now Fodder for Sitcoms
How many pilots does ABC have in the works about the meltdown on Wall Street and the "sad toll it's taken on that once-mighty warrior, the investment banker"? Two, according to AdAge: "One is an untitled project starring Kelsey Grammer, who plays a Wall Street millionaire unhorsed by the collapsing economy and forced into a 'Mr. Mom'-like role at home with the family he hardly ever saw. The other is 'Canned,' a pilot about several younger Gen X friends fired from their lofty perch at an investment bank." [AdAge]
