"Now I know how the line workers at a bottling plant must have felt when they heard about
Laverne and Shirley!," Chris Packham of Kansas City's
The Pitch writes in reaction to
the sitcom "set in the office of a dishy alternative weekly publication and blog" that ABC is considering. "You totally know this thing will be like
Sex and the City with nose rings and ironic T-shirts. TV is not always the worst -- for instance, it's awesome when it tells stories about Battlestars or Detective McNulty -- but this has the unmistakable whiff of horrible, usually depicted by cartoonists as wavy stink lines."
