The Devil Wears Prada, is being made into a half-hour comedy series for FOX. [SOURCE]
In case you’re wondering, Fox TV president Angela Shapiro-Mathes says, “The TV series will not be exactly like (the movie or the book). The reason you loved the book and the reason you loved the movie was these were characters you really cared about in a world you wanted to learn more about.”
Here’s what I think:
1) This is funny because I don’t remember liking much about the movie other than Meryl Streep, but apparently someone out there did. And now there’s a new television show I probably won’t be watching.
2) I think this TV show already exists. It’s called Ugly Betty.
3) It’ll be interesting see if the TV adaptation of The Devil Wears Prada makes an impact. Anyone remember My Big Fat Greek Life?
I didn’t think so.
I’ll only watch it if Meryl Streep is in it. And yes, I do faintly remember when they tried to do the Greek Life sitcom. Not good.
