Suit yourself, Showtime. It’s your loss.
The musical dark romantic comedy Crazy Ex-Girlfriend starring Rachel Bloom that Showtime ordered to pilot, then ultimately passed on, now has another life over at The CW.
CW has gotten plenty of praise for Jane The Virgin, and, from the looks of this Upfronts preview, they’re going to keep that ball of praise rolling.
Look for Crazy Ex-Girlfriend on Mondays at The CW starting this Fall.
Rachel Bloom, who has a pilot in the works at Showtime, has a dance that will not only become the dance to learn, but one that reaches out to those afflicted by crippling Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
It’s called the OCDance. Watch it here and now and over and over and over until everything is set right.
Showtime Orders Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Pilot Starring Rachel Bloom
Showtime is doing a good job of building up their comedy development slate. Last week, they ordered a pilot Cameron Crowe’s Roadies and announced today, Rachel Bloom will be starring in a pilot Crazy Ex-Girlfriend that will showcase her musical comedy chops. 500 Days of Summer director Marc Webb will be directing and Aline Brosh McKenna will be writing.
We sincerely hope Showtime picks this up to series.
Showtime Lands “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” from Aline Brosh McKenna & Rachel Bloom
Though a series called “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” could go several ways, it being at Showtime with the likes of Aline Brosh McKenna (Devil Wears Prada) and Rachel Bloom (who did this awesome parody of almost every top 40 song) should potentially make for something really great.
In this music video, wonderful musical comedian Rachel Bloom essentially gives a great PSA about the lyrics of today’s hit songs that send the message that we should all want to die when we’re young and what that would really be like.
Watch it here and think about it every time you listen to Kesha from this day on.
