I just saw an ad for a series and I was completely convinced it was some kind of gag. Please, tell me it's some kind of gag.
I also think it's something like a movie with Queen Latifah and someone.
The premise, such as it is, according to the hilariously unbelievable commercial - bizarrely young, attractive detective with a pixie cut is in trouble because she crashed three department cars. She meets cute a sassy black cabbie who gets arrested and offers her a deal - he'll drive her anyplace she needs to go, if she helps prove him innocent! Quick cut to them driving, her in the backseat, as he slams on the brakes and she yells at him.
I just... This was greenlit? This got past how many meetings? What else was in this pilot season, 'Hydrant Happenings,' a reality show aiming a camera at a hydrant?
It's a joke, right? Please. Oh look, it's not.
