Latest News About Writers Who Are Doing Better Than We Are

- Matt Hubbard (30 ROCK) has a new 2 year development deal at Universal Television. He’s also writing-producing Fox’s sitcom CABOT COLLEGE. (If those two victories aren’t reason enough to hate this far-too-talented guy, then what it? Congrat, Matty baby!)
- Aron Eli Coleite (HEROES) is writing the pilot for a Fox family drama not-so-cleverly titled HOME. (Cuz family “thrillers” are in now, and so is the irony of giving something a warm and fuzzy name and then using it to scare the hell out of us. Well, guess what, Fox Network? The munchy one doesn’t scare easy. Nosirree.)
- Justin Monjo (FARSCAPE) is writing the pilot for an HBO s-f series based on George C. CHesbro‘s series of novels about criminologist Mongo (not Monjo) the Magnificent. (And, cuz not only is he a fan fave, he’s a “little person” fan fave, Peter Dinklage is set to star. Political correctness, diversity, and eager, panting fans, all in one package. It’s positively munchifying, y’know?)
- Nicole Riegel (newbie) is writing a Fox pilot “set in a contemporary wartime context.” (Hmm, that’s pretty vague. Nobody munchie knows could have set up that kinda pitch. But then, nobody munchie knows would have Cary Joji Fukunaga, director-producer of TRUE DETECTIVE to pitch it for ’em. Good work, Nicole!)

- Charley & Vlas Parlapanides (IMMORTALS) are developing THE 36, a drama about Jewish angels, for A&E. (Time now for munchie to make an admission: I thought all angels were Jewish. And that there were a lot more than 36. Looks like my parents seriously overpaid for my Hebrew School.)
- Alan Schoolcraft & Brent Simon (MEGAMIND) are developing DARK LORD OF DELAWARE, an animated comedy for Fox. (No angels here, gang. This one’s about an evil wizard who loses his job and has to adjust to suburbia. Yeah, yeah, your friendly neighborhood munchified one is laughing already. Mostly thru my, um, nose.)
- Albert Kim (NIKITA) is joining SLEEPY HOLLOW as a producer as part of his new overall deal with 20th Century Fox TV. (Before you get all happy for him – he’s such a good guy – remember this: Every overall deal somebody else gets is one you don’t. In other words, Albert, you just made off with the munchman’s piece of the TV pie. Curses, you lucky dog!)
