... ..Statin Island ....December 17, 2007   I have developed a television pilot called "Statin Island" centered around a group of young, hip, gorgeous, New Yorkers ( think "Friends") who, unfortunately, have high cholesterol.  Here are notes from the brain-storming session I had with my brother: The characters could live in the Nia Span high-rise apartment complex in Flushing, NY. Character possibilities: The lesbian sister and gay brother duo, Lippy and Kress Tore; The constantly bickering husband and wife, Alto and Advi Core, and their delinquent, Hostess "Ho Ho"-gorging children Zo and Meva; Their nosey, elderly next-door neighbor, Ann Eurism; The bleached-blonde Jewish American princess, Prava Chol, who is a receptionist for Embolism Magazine; The red-faced, bloviating politician, Throm Bosis; The down-on-his-luck crack addict, Hi Pertension; The frustrated, talentless artist, Arthur O. Schlerosis; The buxom, streetsmart hooker, Angina Pectoris; The constantly fainting Chinese take-out delivery boy, Sing Ko Pee; The stuttering radio shock-jock, A. R. Ithmia, who hosts the health-enthusiast-bashing talkshow "Chew the Fat"; The officious Irish cop, End O'Cardium, and his bumbling sidekick, Karr D. Accarest; The pedophialiac priest, Father Mitral Valve Prolapse. Their archnemesis: the obnoxiously pushy, goody two-shoes, multi-level marketing Vegan with chronic halitosis, Angie O. Genesis. Favorite hangout/eatery: The Vytor Inn, which only serves food high in trans and saturated fats. Favorite music club: The Myocardial Infarction featuring their favorite band, The Coagulants. previous..|..current..|..archives..|..4th quarter index..|..next
