What do you think? How do you like the idea of a Four Weddings and a Funeral TV show? Who would you cast in it? Let us know, below.
I’m always glad when female centric shows are created. Catch 22 has what? 1 female regular? I love Mindy Kaling. She is a creative thinker and an original. I really admire her even if o was so terribly disappointed by A Wrinkle in Time. It was not her fault, of course. More female centric shows please. We are the majority minority.
How is FWAAF ‘original’ programming? LOL Who NEEDS this show?
