In the Works: Comedy Central Goes to Court
" The home to
Daily Show and
Colbert next will skewer court shows with
The Root of All Evil, in which Lewis Black "presides" over cases positing that assorted politcal figures, celebs and pop-culture concepts are "the root of all evil." The pilot, says the
Hollywood Reporter, pits Paris Hilton against Dick Cheney, and chick flicks against video games. Guest comedians will serve as attorneys.
" CBS' kids programming block for the fall includes
Care Bears,
Strawberry Shortcake (checking my calendar... yep, it's 2007), a crime-fighting
Sushi Pack,
I Was a High School Dinosaur,
Horseland (about talking equines and other critters), and
Cake (teen girl and her BFFs host a cable-acess show out of Grandma's Airstream).
