New TV Sitcom May Satirize Star Trek

"It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" masterminds Rob McElhenney, Charlie
Day and Glenn Howerton are "boldly going" to broadcast television.

The trio has inked a two-year overall deal with 20th Century Fox TV and
has landed a pilot order from Fox for "Boldly Going Nowhere," a
single-camera comedy.

Under the pact with 20th TV, McElhenney, Day and Howerton will develop
new series for the studio, but their services will be in second position
to their work on their quirky FX comedy, which has been renewed for a
fourth season.

In addition to the pilot, Fox ordered five additional scripts for
"Nowhere," which 20th TV will produce with McElhenney, Day and
Howerton's RCG, LLC and 3 Arts Entertainment. McElhenney, Day and
Howerton, who won't appear on the show, are exec producing with Michael
Rotenberg and Nick Frenkel.

"Nowhere," a high-concept comedy about what happens day-to-day on an
intergalactic spaceship helmed by a rogue captain, is based on an idea
by Adam Stein, McElhenney, Day and Howerton's assistant, which he
pitched to them in August.

But...but...there has already been a dead-on Trek satire. No, I don't mean
"Galaxy Quest" (that was more of a spoof of Trek fans).

I mean "ST:V, The Final Frontier."

It wasn't *intentional* satire, but...

;-D

Can you say Homeboys in Outer Space??
They'll never come up with inspired casting like Jimmy Doohan as
"Pippen".
And more than half of Futurmas were Star Trek parodies, including the
ones that actually were Trek Parodies.
