There was some excitement with AMC last year when they were perhaps dipping their toe into comedy waters with We Hate Paul Revere. Eventually, they passed on it after the pilot was shot.

Now, a new comedy project “Fast Boys” from Anthony Pucillo might have hope. It’ll follow “the great American hamburger boom” in Post-WWII America.

If Sterling Cooper were to pitch comedy series at AMC, this would definitely be in the running.

AMC’s only comedy pilot currently in contention, We Hate Paul Revere, keeps getting more enticing. Not only is the premise of the folks hating American folk hero Paul Revere incredibly intriguing, but they already have Ron Livingston cast as Paul Revere and Spoils of Babylon’s Matt Piedmont directing.

Now, 30 Rock’s Scott Adsit has now been added to the cast as Sam Adams. Fingers crossed that this gets picked up so we can, at the very least, all just see what this looks like.

AMC is dipping its toe into the waters of cable network comedy with their one and only comedy pilot, We Hate Paul Revere from Ethan Sandler and Adrian Wenner. Sandler and Wenner will play two brothers that are jealous of such heroes of the American Revolution as Paul Revere, who will be played by Ron Livingston.

Given how hard it is to hate Livingston’s face along with the premise, this could be a lot of fun at AMC, a place where period pieces normally turn very dramatic.

AMC is moving forward with their potential foray into comedy as the comedy pilot We Hate Paul Revere has just got itself one fine director in Matt Piedmont. Piedmont co-created, co-wrote, and directed the fantastic mini-series Spoils of Babylon on IFC.

Given AMC branding and Piedmont’s pedigree, we’re incredibly curious to see what the end product is here and how great, like Spoils of Babylon, it will look.
