Last month, I talked about the Snoop Dogg family sitcom that was in development at Warner Bros TV, and I joked that TBS would be totally down to buy it. But since I’m wrong about everything, it was actually NBC that picked it up. (Side note: NBC tends to be wrong about everything, too — and for much higher stakes.)
Anyway, this isn’t a huge deal yet — the pilot isn’t even made yet — but I wanted to write about it because this sentence from Deadline boggles my mind:
Snoop Dogg has played a father figure on TV before, on his E! reality series Snoop Dogg’s Father Hood, which chronicled his family life with his wife and three kids.
At which point was it decided that being in a reality show was an acting credit? And why did Deadline chose to use “father figure” instead of “father” when the three kids in the show were actually Snoop’s children? And why doesn’t Deadline ever use paragraph breaks? I swear every story is this giant block of text like a goddam Russian novel. “TOLDJA! I knew Anna Karenina would throw herself in front of a train!”
