Here’s one:

    Oh man, I was immensely tickled when I saw this on tv. Anything that makes use of the Christopher Guest film regulars is golden in my opinion-- the more regulars, the better. I wasn't sure if Guest had directed the commercials, but I figured that was likely, considering the cast.

    Before this past tv season, ABC was supposedly considering picking up an American adaptation of a British show called "The Thick of It." Guest directed the pilot, it starred John Michael Higgins, Michael McKean, and Carrie Aizley, among others, AND it was written by two guys from "Arrested Development," one of whom was the creator. After I read that ABC turned it down, I told myself that maybe it just wasn't that good, in spite of its roster. Otherwise, it's just depressing that ABC passed on it in favor of some other lackluster shows that did make the cut.
