According to a story on USAToday online, network television is feeling the recession and responding by passing on high salaried “A” list stars in favor of more obscure and therefore lower paid talent.
I thought that this revelation might signal the right time to reveal to my readers that Sgt Relic will be making a pilot for a possible slot in the fall lineup. It is tentatively titled “Getting By” and yours truly plays a retiree who seeks to supplement his meager social security and demolished 401k by assassinating “A” list stars and other high profile Hollyweird leftists on the weekends.
Our hero, John, employs an array of James Bond type devices and weapons, including a Rascal capable of 120 mph with rocket launchers and rear facing mini-guns, as well as weapons and surveillance equipment disguised as canes, walkers, heating pads, and Dr Scholl’s products.
In the pilot episode John and his crack team of gray beards infiltrates a Wal-Mart disguised as greeters as they attempt to take out a wealthy Hollyweird producer known to take advantage of the $4 prescription deal. They miss the target because he showed up during nap time and the team is forced to improvise.
Watch for it in your fall lineup!
