Well, here's something that actually sounds promising: NBC is producing a pilot for a sitcom called Beach Lane starring comedian Patton Oswalt that seems to borrow some serious Dan's Papers DNA. To wit: "Oswalt will play a well-to-do if not well-educated man who is put in charge of a local newspaper in fictional Dockhampton, NY. Matthew Broderick will play an established journalist whom Mr. Oswalt’s character hires to help him keep the presses rolling." [NYTimes]
