could be funny series (as @corey said). truth be told, would probably be better on FX, AMC or showtime, though if it were showtime it would resort to cheap dirty jokes that get giggles, but not truly funny. wish it were going to be on AMC or FX. oh well.

Could be a funny series. I could see it happening. As long as they change some characters up.

I think this has potential with Winston writing...Community and Happy Endings is a pretty solid TV resume.

Perhaps it'll be funnier than the movie. It won't have to try that hard to accomplish that task.
