per THR: "FX is looking at a drama project called AR2, focused on a group of college aged kids in the midwest who begin a second American Revolution. The project is from a couple of notables: Prison Break's Paul Scheuring, and West Wing's Tommy Schlamme."
well, we all know that i just LOVE tommy schlamme. i love his name. i find myself including it in otherwise unrelated sentences just to hear it said out loud. i also love his work - the whole wide breadth of it from chicago hope to studio 60. i do NOT like his prediliction for shoving his wife into every drama he has in some manner or another. however, i think this show definitely skews too young for her to show up unless she is someone's mom. the verdict is obviously out until i see how the casting lines up, but if they can get a fairly decent group of sort of knowns, i see good things.
FX is definitely the network where a show like this belongs because timeslot shuffling isn't an issue and any ratings in the 1.xx arena are considered decent. this is the network that hung in there with The Riches and Dirt, after all.

correcting myself - tommy schlamme did not do chicago hope, just because christine lahti was on there i assumed... he did do jack and bobby, which was just because christine lahti was one it. so THERE.
