From NewsMax:
ABC has ordered a pilot for a new show that will apparently try to mine some laughs out of the nation's political divide.
The show, called "Red and Blue," features a conservative dad who has a liberal son with kids of his own.
The father and son characters clash over, among other things, the best way to raise the youngsters.
The show springs from the minds of writers Rob Long and Dan Staley, who also wrote and produced on "Cheers."
The dad character is described by a source as "a devout conservative who worships George Bush (either one), Charlton Heston, Rush Limbaugh and God, not necessarily in that order. A man who likes red meat, Cuban cigars, traditional monogamous morality and processed sugar."
The son character works as "a family therapist" and is "intellectual, liberal, vegetarian, and touchy-feely."
The Left Coast Report says contrary to Hollywood's usual fare, I expect the conservative view on "Red and Blue" to be fairly represented. One of the writers whom I've met, Rob Long, is a Hollywood renegade, and by that I mean a right-minded thinker.
