ON THE HORIZON
CBS has ordered Mike Sikowitz's (C'88, Sigma Alpha Mu) pilot called My Best Friend's Girl - A comedy series about a guy who falls in love with his best friend's ex-wife. Mike's credits include being a writer/producer for The Class and Grounded for Life.
A few years ago, my (former) writing partner and I attended the pilot taping of a show Mike had called Grown Men - a single-camera comedy about a group of five frat brothers who meet up at a friend's funeral. I really liked the pilot but it wasn't picked up.

Hey Matt
ReplyDeleteGot two series airing this Summer/Fall
Right now I’m working in NY as Supervising Producer for Paranormal State on A&E - Season 2 starts airing in July.
And recently finished a Series Producer gig for Suburban Secrets on truTV (produced out of DC) that starts in the fall.
Certainly willing to help Penn folks looking for contacts – esp. in DC!
