Zombie Necrophilia on CBS?

I am *nearly* speechless after viewing clips from an almost-ran pilot for a CBS un-dead crime drama that was pitched as "exploring the emotional and societal ramification of loved ones coming back from the dead." I smell the thesis statement from a senior paper, don't you Steve-O?

Story & clip labeled "Post-coital zombie brags about the erectile enhancing benefits of being dead" here:

You're welcome!

Sending a shout out to Brother Snackpack for this one!

And the reason CBS didn't pick up this series is . . .?

Hey! Frank Zappa had this idea AGES ago, CBS was probably running into copyright problems with his estate:

I might snatch you up screamin' through the window all nekkid
An' do it to you on the roof, don't mess with the
ZOMBY WOOF

I am about as evil as a Boogie Man can be!

Tellin' you all the Zomby Troof
Here I'm is, the ZOMBY WOOF

Have hope--CBS just canceled the singing Casino show Viva Laughlin, so maybe they'll pick up the Zombie thing.

After all, CBS already has a Lord Of The Flies show (Kid Nation) and a Stepford Wife update (CBS Evening News with Katie Couric), so why not zombies?

Just show me the seven new episodes of Jericho. That's all I ask...

OH...MY...GOD...I've always been a fan of the zombies but those clips were giving me the willies.
But, then again, I think I'd rather watch that than most of the other crap on TV...
But, then again, ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww....
Bleh.

Should be a musical.

There's no bad idea that can't be made worse by making it a musical.

Was it Kentucky Fried Movie that brought us the wonderful foundation to help us learn to live with death?
