RPGs316 0 Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 With the recent poker explosion, I wouldn't doubt that there is a poker sitcom being made about Annie Duke.However, today is April Fool's Day. So I take everything I read today with a grain of salt. Link to post Share on other sites
socal11053 0 Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 They'll stick it in a prime time slot, with a great lead in, and it might do well for a couple of weeks. I'll put the over/under at 6 episodes. Link to post Share on other sites

Here's a story from March 15:http://www.onlinecasinonews.com/ocnv2_1/Ar...cle.asp?id=7598 If it were to be a joke the story would be about GWB. An the title would be "How Big Oil Is Robbing America Blind!". Link to post Share on other sites

711Buddha 0 Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 I can't see this. Garafalo hasn't done anything in years that isn't just an anti-Bush triade. Not that there isn't a market for that, Moore is doing well enough with it etc. But how is she going to combine that with cards?Seems like your typical "gal" in a Man's world tired old cliche sit com. Here's my predictions.Pilot - Annie has to get her kids off to school - shot of her wiping a nose, reminding a kid of something. Later, she's be at the table and the shot will be repeated so we see poker players are just like her kids, and she's a poker-mom! It'll end iwth a big tourney win and then a kid crawling in bed. They'll have the following characters - Phil - an apserger's guy who throws fits - he's the straight man who doesn't get her clever jokes.Phil - the young cool black guy who gets the jokes and really looks up to Annie as his role model (no, really - I'll bet.)Howard - her brother/former mentor, now the student to Annie.Jesus - just because it will be offensive to some people Poker couple man/Poker couple woman - competent players but bickeringGaypoker guy - gaunrantee a "poker? poke-him" joke - besides they want to represent all minorities - nevermind a ton of great poker players are Asian, they will be conspiquiously absent. Regular season - Episode 1 - Male Chavanist Pig - a cowboy with a hot hand says ladies can't play poker, and then beats Annie in a key hand. She has doubts and all her "real" friends including some former nemesis tell her "You can do it Girl!" and she goes on to beat him in a tense heads up final table showdown.Episode 2 - New Girl in Town - a cute blonde hottie (who's more than passing resembalence to Jen Harmon is TOTAL coincidence) shows up and starts contending for the title of top lady player - after a short bitter rivalry, they realize that they are both pioneers in the man's world of poker and hence forth become "Poker Sista's" Of course the blonde is too cute for Garafalo and is never seen again.Episode 3 - Tension at home - balancing a homelife and a pro poker career result in a series of madcap hijinks.Episode 4 - The NBC Hold'em Showdown tie in event. 30 top players do walk-ons and all ask Annie for advice. She convinces the first Phil to go all in every hand, and when he does IT WORKS! Annie gets to say the "Everytime but one" line.Episode 5 - Surprise appearance by Matt Damon playing Mike McDermott. Annie must balance sudden romance, her poker career and family pressures. Finally Matt/Mike leaves and she can't follow, yet is happy in her life...Episode 6 - UN of Poker - Annie finds herself at table with a Russian, an Iranian, a Costa Rican, an Irish guy, Phil (the black one) and nevermind that lack of Asians, Annie eliminates them 1 by 1 while honoring the unique cultural perspectives they each bring to the game - at the end she wins, but sees that they are all winners because they can appreciate thier differences...CANCELLED - I've already gone on way to long...

AK33 0 Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 Yeah I have to agree, as hard as it is to say, this show will probably be worse than Tilt, if that's AT ALL possible. ~Slick~ Link to post Share on other sites
