Matthew Broderick Coming To A TV Screen Near You
Apparently Matthew Broderick wants to resurrect his career and is willing to come to the altar of television to do it. Not content to be seen only in plays anymore, Broderick finally agreed to star in a television show. They were all beneath him previous to this one. I believe in the John Lithgow school of acting. If you are a great actor you should be able to move between movies, television and theatre and succeed at all of them. The show Broderick is doing is called Beach Lane. For about two seconds I got really excited thinking they were turning Summer Rental into a television show. If you got that joke, then you and I should go drinking together.
It turns out though this Beach Lane show is produced by Lorne Michaels and written by the head writer from NewsRadio so it has possibilities. Instead of running a radio station for a rich owner it is running a newspaper for a rich owner in the Hamptons. I'm guessing we also probably won't be treated to Stephen Root every week, but one can hope and pray.
