…and the BBC in its infinite wisdom sees an idea for a tv show and creates it.  Awesome.  

I somehow suspect that despite the BBC’s notoriously pathetic production values (they being the reason I can’t watch more than 10 minutes of Dr. Who from any decade), this will be better than Bitches.

This is a bit of old news, but Fox has announced that it’s going to develop a show this year called “Bitches“, which is supposed to be Sex and the City with werewolves. A bottle of wine deep last night, I had a few thoughts regarding this:

1. First and foremost, who does Fox think they’re fooling by using a titled called Bitches? That’s really going to attract the female viewers. Not that females will be watching the show anyways, but still. The chance of it staying is as good as the odds of Rob Zombie making a good movie.
2. I love horror. The more the merrier. But this recent obsession with horror-based TV shows is getting annoying. I could live with Dexter and True Blood, but with this and other projects rumored to be in the works, I’m worried that we’ll have an overload of horror resulting in a dark age again of crappy early 80′s horror.
3. Werewolves just aren’t nearly as cool as other creatures. They just turn into wolves and run around killing people. You can do that without becoming a wolf.
4. Fox sucks.
5. No werewolf idea will ever compare to Teen Wolf.
