I guess this is like Cialis, in terms of boner fuel

David Cross and Bob Odenkirk got a sitcom picked up by HBO.

Now If you'll first allow me to explain my post title: unlike the Arrested Development movie, this news does not qualify as instant boner fuel. I (my weiner?) am(is) waiting for further info before we stand at attention. Therefor, this is like Cialis. Boner could happen any minute, and if it lasts more than four hours, then so does the par-tay!

Anyway, here's the show info:

It’s currently called “David’s Situation” with Cross playing himself. In the show, the comic has quit show biz and is working for inflight magazines. He lives with two roommates in a gated community, each the polar opposite on the political scale - one left and one right. David: “And I’m right in the middle.”

[T]he pair intend to keep the sitcom act break structure and break them up with fake commercials, which will allow the pair to exercise their considerable sketch comedy chops directly."

Now, here is why my half-mast and I are hesitant. David Cross is playing himself, and he has always seemed like kind of a dick. His stand up is kind of condescending, which is ok - being funny and mean is fine, just not when I'm not the one doing it. But he gets especially preachy around the topic of politics, and if that's what the show is going to be centered around, I can envision myself wanting to punch him several times. Anyway, the fake commercials and sketch comedy-ness of the whole thing seems promising, seeing as I could probably give you the exact lines of any Mr. Show skit verbatim. I also hope it doesn't end up being amazing, only to be cancelled after one season, like Lucky Louie.

Either way, I(my weiner)'ll be following this closely.
