"I'd buy a pair that said 'Everwood.'" Another great exchange from Nobody’s Watching (feel free to use for your “Quotes of the Week”):

“I didn’t think any man would buy a pair of boxers that said ‘Smallville’ across the front.”
“I’d buy a pair that said ‘Everwood.’”

Just watched the entire pilot, and it's better than ANY comedy The WB has aired in years. How utterly insulting that they stuck "Twins," "Living With Fran," and "Modern Men" on the air instead of this inventive, break-the-mold gem. WB, it was decisions like this that put you out of business, unfortunately. For years they searched for a comedy hit, and couldn't recognize it when they saw it. To quote the "actors" from the pilot.... "You can't just plop a dream into my lap, then just take it away." "We're The WB...we can do anything." Priceless. (And loved the studio stooges...one played by the baddie secret-service guy on Prison Break) OH MAN…what could’ve been!

To quote the “actors” from the pilot….

“You can’t just plop a dream into my lap, then just take it away.”
“We’re The WB…we can do anything.”

Priceless. (And loved the studio stooges…one played by the baddie secret-service guy on Prison Break)

I had no idea that was BILLY from BSG! Now it totally makes sense, but I hate how I'm so bad to recognize actors in different roles. I'm not used to seeing 'Billy' smile, as we all know how depressing BSG can be (in a good way!) I liked the pilot, but I'm not surprised it wasn't picked up. In fact, I'm surprised it was even made into a pilot. The show is way too smart for the average sitcom, and 'inside hollywood' shows rarely work. Just look at the long list of failed hollywoodesque shows: The Comeback (Brilliant!), Grosse Point, Action! etc. Holy Frack! I had no idea that was BILLY from BSG!
