Texts from Last Night is a perfectly enjoyable website in which anonymous drunks identified only by their area code recount the blurry events of their hard-partying lives. There are no recurring characters, and there’s almost zero interaction between the texters. Hey, I know! Let’s make it a TV show!

Fox has tapped Ugly Betty creator Silvio Horta to develop a half-hour comedy based on the infamous blog Texts From Last Night. Happy Madison and Sony Pictures TV are producing. [Deadline]

Horta also created “The Chronicle” and “Jake 2.0,” so you KNOW this is gonna be good. Oh, and if all of this sounds familiar, it’s because Fox has been trying to make this show for years.

The network, Happy Madison and Sony TV first took a stab at developing a comedy based on the Web site two seasons ago with Steve Holland as the writer. Last season, it was redeveloped with different writers, Marc Abrams and Michael Benson. Now a new take will be written by Horta, who had been looking to branch out into half-hour comedies after creating 2 sci-fi dramas and a dramedy.

Someday I want to see how decisions get made in Hollywood (aside from cocaine and blowjobs, of course). “Yes, OBVIOUSLY the writers are the problem here. The concept is PERFECT for TV. Johnson, those first two writing teams failed horribly! Get me the guy from ‘Ugly Betty’!”

Texts from Last Night is an awesome website. And now, thanks to the wonder of television producers being idiots, it’s going to be a crappy TV show. Thanks, Hollywood!

Fox is developing a TV adaptation of the popular website “Texts From Last Night.” “The Big Bang Theory” scribe Steve Holland is set to write the comedy, which has scored a script order plus a large penalty from the net. Sony Pictures TV will produce, along with Adam Sandler’s Happy Madison shingle.

In writing the TV version, Holland will loosely base the show’s characters and plot on the whole idea of racy — and sometimes embarrassing — communication, particularly among the twentysomething set.

Bear with me for a second while I get to the point in a roundabout fashion: Most people don’t read blogs, so 95% of the time when I meet someone for the first time and I say that my job is blogging, they say, “And you do that for a living?” And then I say something about hardly calling this living, hahaha, then I talk about being immersed in the culture of web humor, cats in clothes, blah blah blah. And then the other person goes, “Oh, have you heard about this site called Texts from Last Night?” And it’s like, yeah motherf*cker, I know about it. YOU know about it because of people like me. You’re welcome.

Anyway, maybe this show will stop that conversation from happening again. That would be nice.
