Shit-Com

Man, this looks like a great TV show in the making. I just can’t wait…
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) -- Actor Ashton Kutcher, whose May-December romance with screen star Demi Moore has riveted the tabloids for months, is producing a Fox
TV sitcom pilot inspired by the couple's recent real-life marriage.

The show, about a man closer in age to his eldest stepdaughter than his bride, is "loosely based" on Kutcher's new blended-family life, 20th Century Fox Television spokesman Chris Alexander said on Tuesday.

The show, tentatively titled "30-Year-Old Grandpa," would be set in Chicago, and neither of the two lead characters are entertainers. Instead it centers on a 30-year-old nightclub owner and a 40-something businesswoman who get married and discover they're expecting a child.

At the same time, the woman's 22-year-old unwed daughter announces she is pregnant and plans to move home to raise her baby -- turning the show's leading man into a grandfather overnight. The woman's younger daughter, who had been living with her father, decides she, too, wants to live with mom and the new stepdad.
How wacky! Television just gets better and better.

On another note, how is Moore being in her early 40’s qualifying her as “December”. I always thought May-December relationships involved a much, much older person playing the part of “December” (December being at the end of the year much as the person would be at the relative end of their life). But what the hell do I know. Well, I know this: we 40-somethings AREN’T OLD even when involved with someone in their mid to late 20s. Ageist asswipes.
