Another Blog Gets a TV Deal
11.02.10ABC has given a script deal with penalty to Dealbreaker, the relationship blog that was recently published as a book. “American Dad” executive producer Nahnatchka Khan (KHAAAAAAAN!) will co-write the show with “American Dad” staffer Laura McCreary.
The blog and the book are described as a “hilarious reference guide to the qualities that, when discovered, transform the ‘date you hope to go home with’ into the ‘date you pray never calls again’” and as a catalogue of characteristics that serve as early warning signs of possible relationship discontent.

Translation: it’s people bitching about their boyfriend/girlfriend/love interest. The original authors of the blog, comics Dave Horwitz and Marisa Pinson, stopped creating their own content on the site some time ago, and now just publish submissions from other writers. Mmmm, that’s some good cashin’ in. I have to stop working so hard on silly Photoshops and start coming up with niche blogs that translate to television. My taste in whiskey is expensive.
Anyway, despite the banner image, this is in no way related to “Dealbreakers” on “30 Rock.” Which is too bad, because Lesbian Yellow Sour Fruit is one of my favorite authors.


So when can we expect the TV version of the KSK Sexbag starring Michael Cera as Matt Ufford?
Fingers crossed that when I post pictures of dogs wearing sunglasses on Tumblr that someday I’ll be rich for doing nothing but hitting a reblog button.
hot blonde chick in that 30 rock video screenshot should do porn
If WG gets picked up as a TV show, I’m editing SO MANY CORGIS into the title sequence and theme song.
If you base an actual TV show on a concept already parodied in another TV show, that’s a dealbreaker.
@Enrico – Cera would look too natural in the Rainbow Metallic Snakeskin shorts.
I wouldn’t be upset if Fuck Yeah Corgis got picked up as a series.
Just to reiterate, SO MANY CORGIS.
Ooh, will this be based on the ~hilarious~ differences between men and women? Maybe they can air it with Cougar Town to really cash in on the awful.
Aaaaand the only good thing on ABC continues to be Modern Family.
If that’s your plan, DG, I’d like you to do the title sequence for everything. Forever.
Nahnatchka Khan… Nahnatchka Khan…. Nahnatchka Khan…Nahnatchka Khan..
Lemme rock ya… lemme rock ya, Nahnatchka Khan.
Nahn… Nahnatch… Na… Naga work here anymore that’s for sure.
Ha! Donald Glover is the gay kid in that clip.
And now I’ve been humming this for the past 20 minutes…
when criminals in this world appear
and break the laws that they should fear
and frighten all who see or hear
the cry goes up both far and near
for Lobster Dog! Lobster Dog! Lobster Dog! Lobster Dog!
Wait, when does Lobster Dog air on ABC?
its in no way related to the dealbreakers on 30 rock except for the fact that its exactly the same thing. oh tumblr bookdeals, so many bargain bin fillers.
