New show from the creator of "Nip/Tuck": Transsexual sportswriter!

http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117950785?categoryid=14&cs=1

FX and "Nip/Tuck" creator Ryan Murphy have made a deal for a new drama called "4 oz." that will follow the metamorphosis of a married sportswriter who is a transsexual.
...
Murphy, who has begun writing a pilot episode he hopes to shoot early next year, told Daily Variety that he has mapped out a natural five-season arc for the series that also focuses on the gender-conflicted protag's teenage sons.
...
"The first season deals with the revelation of his secret," Murphy said. "In the second season, he begins dressing like a woman. The third covers the surgery, and his inherent doubts about going through with it, and by the fourth season, he's living as a woman and attempting to find love."

Murphy said "4 oz." refers to the average weight of a penis, remarkably light given the amount of havoc it creates for men.

 

Good luck with that five-season arc, pal.

 

Funny, I was thinking exactly the same thing. Won't make it out of the first season.

 

Four ounces? FOUR OUNCES? Feh!

(... and I'd like to point out that JR, Perry White and Ace didn't dispute that figure)
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

 

I don't know about Teenie and Tiny, but I try to remain humble.

Is it immature of me to laugh at "Nip/Tuck" and "transsexual" being so close in the headline? Wasn't there a great Slap Maxwell where Dabney realized he was a hermaphrodite? That was crazy.

 

i'm a little hesitant to click on this link, for fear of being confronted by the outer mongolian venomous constricting trouser snake.

 

Episode 1 - While dressed like Judy Garland the sportswriter is surprised to hear that Mateen Cleaves is not in the building despite writing a column that said he was...

Episode 2 - After getting his salad tossed by Clay Aiken, the sportswriter gets fired from his freelance gig for ripping Scoop Jackson...

Episode 3 - While listening to Streisand on his Ipod, the sportswriter is hospitalized after falling down the steps in the LSU press box.

 

Ryan Murphy is seriously fucked up.

How did he pitch this? "It's Everybody Loves Raymond, if Raymond wanted to be a chick!"

 

You will be disappointed.

 

Does the sportswriter work for Baseball Prospectus?
