A TOOB FULL O' SUNSHINE

I usually avoid commenting on TV pilot news - if the shows don't get picked up, then there's nothing that affects Earth Prime-Time. But A&E is going into production with a new series to debut this summer, based on its pilot (giving it a 13 episode commitment).

'Sugarloaf' is a one-hour drama starring Matt Passmore as detective Jim Longworth, transplanted from Chicago to Florida. And it will have a small impact on Toobworld.....

Here's the description from The Hollywood Reporter:
The Fox TV Studios drama centers on Jim Longworth (Passmore), a brilliant-but-difficult Chicago homicide detective who's wrongfully accused of sleeping with his former captain's wife and forced into exile. Longworth relocates to Sugarloaf, a sleepy Gulf Coast resort town in Florida where life can be less beautiful than it first seems.
So tele-Florida gets itself a new town, Sugarloaf.

It already has:

Fort Bendix ('The Army Show')

Truro ('Flamingo Road')

Coral Key Park ('Flipper')

Deepwater ('Maximum Bob')

Magic Beach ('Safe Harbor')

Key Mariah ('Sweating Bullets')

I don't think the location of 'Cougar Town' has ever been identified in the show, although the local high school team is named "The Cougars".....

[My thanks to TVAcres for the location info and to The Medium Is Not Enough for pointing out the story. Both links can be found to your left, Amigos.)

BCnU!
