In the wake of the tease that was Virtuality airing on FOX comes news that ABC will pick up another high-concept Summer sci-fi show which may sate the nerd appetite (but probably not). Defying Gravity had me all excited until I read that the producer is one of the people behind Grey's Anatomy and Ugly Betty. In his own words:
"Since we originally pitched "Gravity" to the international marketplace as 'Gray's Anatomy' in space, getting the series on the network that has 'Grey's' and makes the most successful sci-fi show on TV in 'Lost' is a good fit," FtvS executive vp David Madden said. He describes the show as "having a sci-fi premise but being told in a female-friendly way."Yeah, so fuck that. It may have Ron Livingston, who is awesome, but "Grey's Anatomy in Space"? Pass. Thanks a lot ABC for getting me unreasonably excited by a headline and lead actor only to take the wind out of my sails entirely. I looked around for a trailer though there doesn't seem to be one. Not that I'd want to see it now anyway. One day, someone will find a successful vehicle for Ron Livingston, but it is not this day. Now if they come up with a show that involves sending the cast of Grey's Anatomy IN TO space, then I'll clear some room on my DVR.
