J.J. Abrams Shopping Around New Show Starring ‘Lost’ Alums Terry O’Quinn and Michael Emerson

_{Next on TGIF, those wacky assassins in ‘Odd Jobs!’}

Last spring, when the cast of "Lost" was making the press rounds trying to talk-up the finale as anything but an enormous "FUUUU!!!!" to the fans, Terry O’Quinn and Michael Emerson revealed their wish to star alongside one another as retired assassins on a new show. Now that idea has some traction in the form of J.J. Abrams.

Abrams is shopping around O’Quinn’s comedic drama concept to the networks, and with his name attached, it’s likely to be held in high regard. Which means if the show does come together, we may see it on a real network instead of it being sandwiched in between "SVU" marathons on USA. Sounds like a fun show, though it clearly deserves to be a sitcom. I can see the opening credits now. John Locke and Ben on a bicycle made for two; Ben accidentally squirts mustard on Locke when the pair order hot dogs; then later, their bullets ricochet off one another’s as they both try to assassinate an Arab royal. Good times. (Vulture)
