oh no they did not

so i'm flipping through a copy of US magazine....(i know what you're thinking, and yes, it is a very normal heterosexual selection from the rack). anyway, i'm reading this thing and suddenly come across an ad for a new sitcom:
Retired at 35.
what the hell....i read further:
A New Sitcom on TV Land.
well slap my ass, this is sounding awfully familiar.
i must do a little more research.

turns out, it's true - the suits over at TV Land have made a sitcom about a guy who, get this...., retires early, at age 35.

still don't think it's real?
here's the plot overview>
The series follows a successful New Yorker named David (Johnathan McClain), who decides to leave the rat race and his job in the big city and move in with his father (George Segal) and mother (Jessica Walter) who live in a retirement community in Florida to reconnect with them, re-evaluate his life and live the dream of retirement that so many are working toward.

ok, so there are a few 'variances' to the premise, but come on.....am I the only one seeing this thing? helloooo? this is a total rip off of the Freedom.
many of you new readers won't know this, but prior to my recent life decisions, this blôg was previously known as Freedom 35 (and yes, i've decided from now on that this blôg will have a little French injection).
now, before i get too excited for any royalties due to me, i need to actually take a look at this brilliant concept in living colour.



hmm...well...i likely don't have to worry about royalties. this thing is getting shut down in 6 episodes - max. i don't even need to see an actual episode, the crap sell-job the cast does in this promo reel is quite enough.
TV Land, if you're reading this, you have my blessing to infuse your show with any number of my antics abroad. hell, maybe even New York City David will decide he too wants to become a model (although this dude looks nothing like me).

alright, that's one lawsuit settled.
now, for the real money maker.....this one is a no-brainer. it's ME!



HBO, your move....
