Or it could serve as a nice nod to 30 Rock and Tracy's "son" Donald.

That was the problem with the adaptation with Billy Zane - not enough Phantoms.

Did he get in a huff when the Beastie Boys were inducted? Or is that OK because they play instruments (sometimes)? That's the only glaring difference between the two groups that comes to mind, obviously.

The Duplass Brothers are currently building it on a $5000 budget.

That is some genuinely Orwellian shit right there.

My father and I have the same first and last name (though different middle names) and I've had to spend hours getting his debts scrubbed from my credit reports. It's the worst.

Yeah, the "investigative" part was realistically in her wheelhouse. The writing though….oh boy.

I love the insinuation that legal assistant to investigative journalist is a simple lateral move that requires no training of any sort.
