THE MANZANIS

Finished this teleplay by Dave Flebotte and Marco Pennette.

Story of an Italian family from Brooklyn moving to the suburbs.

The Manzani family shows a lot of heart and that's key.  We like them right off the bat.  The conflict between them and their extremely white surroundings is funny.  After awhile though, that'll play itself out and then where will you go with the series?

The writers know how to deliver a laugh.  Can they deliver enough plot though to sustain this?  The script is funny enough to let them try however a series commitment is out of the question at the moment.
