The date doctor is coming to television.

EW has confirmed that Fox is developing a comedy series based on 2005’s Hitch, starring Will Smith and Kevin James. The half-hour, single-camera series is being described as “a workplace comedy that explores dating and sexual politics.” Will Smith and Jada Smith will executive produce alongside Deborah Kaplan and Harry Elfont, who will write the script, and Overbrook Entertainment’s James Lassiter and Caleeb Pinkett.

Hitch raked in close to $370 million worldwide at the box office. It follows Smith’s Alex “Hitch” Hitchens, a professional dating consultant put to the test when Albert Brennaman (James) wants to land a girl way out of his league.

This is just the latest of a long list of upcoming series based on movies, including the just-announced Monster in Law, also on Fox, Marley & Me, Big, and more.

I liked Hitch

 

[dabestkeptsecret]

the description of the show, doesn't even resemble the premise of the movie, which was about a consultant helping guys
find love

the show will be a workplace comedy that explores dating and sexual politics.

So i'm assuming Will wont be in it. Do this people have any creativity at all. Or is them recycling old movies and shows the best they can come up with.

This sounds as good as the rest of the movies turned TV shows the networks have been picking up.

I'd be interested to know if the networks are picking up shows that their parent companies/production companies already own or if there's some crossover, because they have to know these are all bound to fail.

Minority Report
Rush Hour
Big
Monster-in-Law
Marley & Me
Real Genius
Problem Child
Bachelor Party
The Illusionist
Hitch

All in the last last 2 months.

Something is going on, I just can't put my finger on it.
