David Cross's UK Pilot Picked Up for Series and May Come Stateside

POSTED BY Wookie Johnson | SUNDAY JANUARY 24 AT 8:51 PST 
THE INCREASINGLY POOR DECISIONS OF TODD MARGARET

The luck of the English continues. Not only do they have relaxed attitudes, non-questionable beef, and a perfect balance of fluoride in their drinking water, but now David Cross's UK comedy pilot is going to series on their Channel 4. The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret stars Cross as a schlub mistaken for an alpha-male who is shipped overseas by an egomaniacal boss in order to sell a sketchy energy drink. Will Arnett will play the boss in the six episode run. Other castmembers are Russell Tovey and Sharon Horgan.

We may be in luck stateside as well. Not only will our steaks not kill the neurons in our brains, but /Film reports that negotiations are underway to bring the show to the U.S.. We've posted the hilarious intro from the pilot before but please revisit the LOLs after the jump... (via /Film)

    January 24th, 2010 at 06:15 pm Looks pretty funny, but I think Will Arnett's swearing is a lil overdone. It's not used very effectivley and is just a tad distracting. So far, the only two executives that can offend and be utterly hilarious have been jeremey piven in Entourage and Peter Capaldi in In The Loop.
