FORTY

New series from Doug Ellin.

Centers on Kenny - used to make over $2mill annually in a high-finance position but now has been unemployed for a year.  He's married with a son.

Kenny pals around with three friends from college.  The series is about these four guys as they approach the big 4-0.  The pilot's about the friends convincing Kenny to go on a trip to Dallas to watch the Cowboys play the Giants.

The episode really doesn’t have much going for it. ENTOURAGE has the superstar lifestyle that puled us in. HOW TO MAKE IT IN AMERICA had the hustler angle from the streets to pull us in. FORTY doesn’t have an angle...outside of four middle aged men talking about the problems of their lives which is done much better on TNT’s MEN OF A CERTAIN AGE.

Hard to see this taking off.
