Awesome Hollywood Blackcomedy!, 1 April 2000
Author: jmcool5164 from Moo

This is a hilarious satire/blackcomedy on Hollywood! Jay Mohr is very good at playing evil characters. He could be the next Christopher Lloyd. But...this was one of the good shows that went into Fox's huge meat grinder of cancellation. Maybe they can do an Action movie. That would be cool. Tim Burton could direct. It could be the movie version of the episode where Peter comes back to life. Ooooo good idea!
