| There the sign hung. For years. Rain, Sun, Snow. No words to help it advertise the Auto Body Shop. But still: The Auto Body Shop thrived. Well, it didn't thrive, but it did OK. Actually, it closed in 2008. But the sign still hangs as a testament to the Shop's ultimate failure. |

| Enter a young TV writer. Well, actually he wasn't that young, and he never wrote anything in his life. He might have watched a ton of TV, but he never had anything to do with the business. Still, he had an idea... for a show... based on the sign. A drunken night in a Los Angeles bar, well it wasn't a bar, it was a diner, but he was drinking beers with his friend (who was paying) and as he described the idea a young agent (mailroom kid) overheard it. Well, actually, the mailroom kid was the TV writer's friend who was paying for the beers. The Writer begged him to pitch it to his boss. The Young Agent pitched it, and... there was a bidding war for the new show. Netflix verse Hulu Plus to the death. Actually, Hulu Plus was never interested. BUT... Netflix bought the idea without even seeing the sign. There are three characters in the show and no dialogue. I am pumped to see this thing. Well, I'm not really pumped. But I might watch it. |
