    Heh…if only that were real. For good or bad, that’d be one hell of a show.

    I’m glad for you, but I don’t think this show will do well. The title “Who’s the Ross?” just sounds lame. It’s like they used it because Danza was in “Who’s the Boss?”. They should have found a more catchier title. The concept of the show is just lame. Schwimmer and Danza may have chemistry, but the concept, a postal worker living in Brooklyn with a roommate, is so mediocre. Schwimmer and Danza are both mediocre actors. So, is Applegate. Hopefully, the writing is good. For your sake, I hope it does well. But it does not sound promising.

    Quirky and somewhat unstable, eh?

    Never mind my previous post. I forgot that it was from bluebrick.net.

    Hehe. That would be SOME show, wouldn’t it?!

    I don’t think there is enough Tony Danza on TV these days. Bring on the Tony!

    Wil:
    Thats funny-only I hope BB.com copyrights its idea-some suit might actually take it seriously and try to peddle WTR to the network!
    Weirder things have happened-who would have predicted trash like the Pimp and the W****-aka
    “Bachelor” and “Bachelorette”!
    Re auditions-remember-no news is good news!
    Night!

    Hm.
    I’d wanna see Wil in a “Saved by the Bell” riff.

  11. Krissbeth says:
    27 January, 2003 at 11:36 pm

    You know what that show needs?
    Vampires.
    And John Stamos.

  12. wil says:
    27 January, 2003 at 11:38 pm

    Best part of it was that I beat out a Kimmel for the part.

  13. Krissbeth says:
    27 January, 2003 at 11:42 pm

    I’ve changed my mind.
    It needs werewolves. Definitely werewolves.
    And John Stamos. 😛

  14. Janece says:
    27 January, 2003 at 11:53 pm

    Is this another The Onion-esque site? I haven’t heard of it until tonight. Bring on the satire… Thanks Wil! 😉

    LOL! Brilliant 🙂

    The thing is, I could actually *see* you in that role, and stealing the show.

  17. ChuckEye says:
    27 January, 2003 at 11:58 pm

    If you can’t beat Kimmels, join them. I hear Jimmy’s new show hires co-hosts/sidekicks a week at a time. You should contact ABC and see what it takes to get the gig. Or just drop by Jimmy’s office. It’s above the El Cap, I’m pretty sure…

  18. Sunidesus says:
    28 January, 2003 at 12:04 am

    Yikes, I’m not sure if that’s funny or disturbing. Maybe a little of both.

  19. Reena says:
    28 January, 2003 at 12:16 am

    Hmmm. Not enough about you. That and the spelling error. I bet it was the doing of a Kimmel . . . those seagull-brained, slimy, toads!

    Doing things Side Ways does not fall in submission of normal physics. Just keep on pushing any direction, Build it, and they will come Pulling for You.

    You’d think they’d know how to spell “Wheaton.”
    But it is a pretty funny piece.

    You know, I can see you in that role, too…
    Imagine: Wil in a Postal uniform, getting Kramer-esque type applause whenever he’s first seen on the show, kinda weird (translates to: free-thinking, sacastic, rebel-within-the-system)…
    Wil, it’s a role just made for you!

  24. becks says:
    28 January, 2003 at 2:39 am

    Now that would be cool! i was taken in by it, cos i love friends, seriously though, sounds good!

  25. Katie says:
    28 January, 2003 at 3:00 am

    Great, now I am seeing Wil with Kramer-esque hair. I didn’t need that just before bed.

    Oooooohhh, thats the one with Chef! Coolest!
    Also here http://us.imdb.com/Title?0346639 , not much detail, as it’s still listed as “in production”.
    I just know it’ll be ages before I get to see it Down Under…

  28. spork says:

    Hold me closer Tony Danza……count the headlights on the highway……..

  29. valis says:
    28 January, 2003 at 5:20 am

    Wow! THE TONY DANZA! Will is now witch daughter be guest starring?

  30. PeteyBoy says:
    28 January, 2003 at 5:21 am

    Jeez, when I saw that, my inital reaction was something along the lines of “Holy crap, Wil got the I, Robot part!”
    Please, Wil, don’t do that again unless you mean it!

  31. MrsVeteran says:
    28 January, 2003 at 6:44 am

    Just remember: There’s always work at the Post Office.
    That is all.

  32. Tony says:
    28 January, 2003 at 6:54 am

    from the BlueBrick article: “Tony Danza .. has a very loyal gay following.”
    Does he know this?

  33. Tom says:
    28 January, 2003 at 7:01 am

    I know it’s satire… still, I have to wonder if Tony Danza does, in fact, have a very loyal gay following. I’d bet he could work up some sort of lounge act to take advantage of that.

  34. John says:
    28 January, 2003 at 7:17 am

    AND you’d get to work with Christina Applegate! If it were real.
    Shee-it, if it were real, David Schwimmer would get pushed to the side, and Tony Danza or Wil would become the star of the show.

  35. Luca says:
    28 January, 2003 at 7:17 am

    Hey,
    nice stuff, but why not some words about the (unfortunately) upcoming war against Iraq ?

  36. Ryan_W says:
    28 January, 2003 at 7:37 am

    I hope you people that are congratulating (or berating) Wil for accepting a spot in this show realize that that article isn’t true. If you look at the bottom it says “Click here to return to the main page for more satire”.
    Geez, some people will believe anything.
    Do you REALLY think that Wil would take a gig as “post office co-worker” where the ‘Stars’ of the show are an over-the-hill actor (who WAS good when his show was big, i’ve got nothing against him then, but now…..) and the least popular character in a show that lost its novelty a few seasons back?
    Please, people, THINK about what you read. Stop being parts of the mindless masses. It’s people like that who allowed Bush to strip you of your most basic rights when they feel like getting another scapegoat up on the chopping block, and for the upcoming “My daddy couldn’t beat you but i’m gonna try” war.
    God!
    I’m glad to be Canadian.

    Ryan,
    When you say:
    “a show that lost its novelty a few seasons back”
    What you mean is it “Jumped the Shark”.
    http://www.jumpedtheshark.com
    Heh. I love this site. I love the fact that they have a whole section devoted to Ted McGinley and how he’s the kiss of death to any show he appears on. Ted should be another postal worker on “Who’s the Ross”

  38. NephraTari says:

    Quit teasing!
    That would be cool, if only it were true. 😉

  39. Geoff says:

    the internet is good for 2 thing: comedy and porn
    this site delivers both.
    thank you wil

  40. camfan says:
    28 January, 2003 at 8:51 am

    People, this is not true ok? As it says in the bottom, it’s a satire. Don’t go telling your friends to await the new sitcom starring Tony Danza and David Schwimmer.

  41. Foxychik says:
    28 January, 2003 at 8:54 am

    Ryan,
    It worked for Tommy Lee Jones in Men In Black II! rofl

  42. Geoff says:
    28 January, 2003 at 8:56 am

    did I say 2 things, I meant 3. the thrid being the internet is good for idiots, which wee can see here that they are not in short supply

  43. spam says:
    28 January, 2003 at 9:57 am

    This show would be fine, until Rick Berman starts producing it.

  44. Krissbeth says:
    28 January, 2003 at 10:29 am

    A quickie note to the “Oh, god! This is a satire, you idiots!” people:
    We know. We’re playing along. Shame on you for not realizing it. 😉 😛

    Greetings Will,
    You are disturbing the Force of Humor, You have broken the four laws of Humor. Humor falls into four physical states; Slow , Medium, Fast and full Circle. You just had to do it, create a fifth state of humor, your going to mess up everything that is Called Normal Humor. Spelling humor backwards, what are you going to do about this “ROMUH”. I would be very careful from now on, you might get sued for the “Romuh Displacement Effect” on your viewers and fans.

    28 January, 2003 at 11:02 am

    *LOL* omg that is hilarious. and you would look hot in a postal uniform, wil. speaking of, has wil ever been to burning man?? just wondering…

  47. Fred Fowler says:
    28 January, 2003 at 11:13 am

    Tony Danza steals Wil’s idea for an electric grill, wackiness ensues. Featuring a guest appearance by Rudy Guiliani as Wil’s mom.

  48. Chris says:
    28 January, 2003 at 11:47 am

    That would be a great show. At least they didn’t cast you as Tony Danzas love interest!

  49. Ryan_W says:
    28 January, 2003 at 12:34 pm

    Checked out jumpedtheshark.com Tim, thx for the link.Site looks pretty sweet. I’ll check it out in depth after work.
