And now a moment of silence for Matthew Broderick's career

Matthew Broderick is coming to series television.

The actor, who had been courted by TV networks for years, is attached to star in NBC's comedy pilot "Beach Lane," which was given the green light Monday.

"Beach Lane," from UMS, Lorne Michaels' Broadway Video and writer Paul Simms ("NewsRadio"), stars Broderick as a celebrity author hired by an irresponsible millionaire heir to run his struggling small-town newspaper in the Hamptons.

Broderick was approached to do the project months ago but would only commit after reading the final script.

His involvement in "Beach Lane" follows his guest stint on NBC's "30 Rock," which is exec produced by Michaels.

Michaels is exec producing "Beach Lane" with Marci Klein.

Damn, I just had a minor heart attack until I got to the word "career".

I'm really fucking high right now but I'm not sure this would make sense even if I wasn't.

easily_amused87 2nd-Feb-2010 05:11 am (UTC)

it really doesn't

fagerstrom 2nd-Feb-2010 05:12 am (UTC)

Stupid titled show produced by Lauren Mikes is about a not drunk less funny 'Arthur' type character who owns a share in a dying business. Still alive Matthew Broderick guest stars

infidelkast 2nd-Feb-2010 06:11 am (UTC)

ugh I read it ten times and it still doesn't make sense.

I'm also high

For some reason this reminded me of Privilged minus the teenage target public.

_xxtom 2nd-Feb-2010 05:10 am (UTC)

SERIOUSLY
What in the fuck happened to his career though? Like why is it so terrible

fagerstrom 2nd-Feb-2010 05:14 am (UTC)

He looks like if pedo bear and a turtle mated

ourmutualfiend 2nd-Feb-2010 05:15 am (UTC)

I think he just got burned out on it- the work, the celebrity, all of it.

astormatsea 2nd-Feb-2010 05:10 am (UTC)

one of my professors is the biggest fucking tool and he is always saying "anyone..anyone..bueller?" and i want to punch him

lollapoe 2nd-Feb-2010 05:11 am (UTC)

people do that all the time, and idk why, since it probably wasn't funny back in 80s and it definately isn't funny now.

fagerstrom 2nd-Feb-2010 05:15 am (UTC)

I hate that. Didn't find it funny in the movie, don't know why I would outside of it

grammaire 2nd-Feb-2010 05:45 am (UTC)

LOL IRL

it might not suck...i really don't want it to, i used to have such a huge crush on him when i was 12. we had this vhs version of cinderella starring him pre- ferris bueller and i would get all flustered and red faced while watching it because i thought he was so cute.
