I just caught the pilot of this animated spoof on the spy world and laughed like a maniac. It’s crass like you can only get away with on deep cable (hopefully FX won’t censor it), and bitingly funny. It’s not quite slap-stick Naked Gun comedy, but close. Check out the clip from the pilot below and program your TiVo come January.
To replace The Shield, FX decided to take the same formula and set it in the Old West. The new series will be called “Lawman,” and who better to star than the fan favorite from Deadwood, Timothy Olyphant.
Lawman starring Timothy Olyphant
Givens is described as “an anachronism – a tough, soft spoken gentleman who finds his quarry fascinating, but never gives an inch. Dig under his placid skin and you’ll find an angry man who grew up hard in rural Kentucky, with an outlaw father, who knows a lot more about who he doesn’t want to be than who he really is.” He’ll fit right in with the current cast of outlaws, misfits, and loners on other various FX programs.
