Martin Lawrence gotta new comedy series coming out on FX

As I understand it the syndicator produces the shows, not the networks, that get a 10-90 deal.

Yeah, it's one company that is doing this model, Debmar-Mercury, owned by Lionsgate.

They've got another 10-90 joint with George Lopez coming, and just signed Kevin James to do another one. Everyone involved is going to EAT.

I would think that the actors involved might not get as much for syndicastion in this model because they have a much higher chance (so far anyway) getting to syndicastion in this model then in the normal "might be cancelled after 8/48/random number" model.

Probably less, but it's guaranteed, and you can't beat that. It's how they can lure names into doing them.

As much as I want this to be good I know it just wont be especially after the Arsenio catastrophe. You can't recapture magic or relive the past.

Arsenio has been good actually as of late. Just a rough start for some reason. You should watch it again

Well, with Kelsey G playing the other main character I'd think not...or at least not exclusively

I think Kelsey has a good track record since he had Girlfriends under his belt. At least he somewht knows how to do a black show. So maybe it'll be funny
