Bad news, fans of Rod Serling, excellence in television, and just plain coherent storytelling. Looks like J.J. Abrams, Master of the Not Fully Thought Through Obvious in Film and its partner, Not Full Thought Through Muddiness in TV, has made a deal with Rod Serling’s estate to turn Rod’s unproduced screenplay, THE STOPS ALONG THE WAY, into a TV mini-series.
To us, this is pathetic. Like entrusting a TV version of any Shakespeare play to whatever moron it is who created/writes/produces HOT IN CLEVELAND.
