Lily Tomlin Travels Bad Road to Television
Lily Tomlin,
one of the funniest people on earth, is making her way back to TV in the
latest pilot from Designing Women creator Linda Bloodworth-Thomason.
The Dallas-set 12 Miles of Bad Road takes a comic look at a
wealthy matriarchy and real-estate empire, so expect the jewelry,
shoulder pads, and especially the hair to be crazily enormous.
 Tomlin
stars as Amelia Shakespeare, and the HBO show's very talented cast
includes comedy veteran Mary Kay Place and Deadwood alums
Kim Dickens and Sean Bridgers.
If Bloodworth-Thomason can do for Texas realtors (a plum target for
satire if there ever was one) what she did for Atlanta interior
designers, look for Bad Road - set to debut sometime before the
end of 2007 - to be cable's newest hit.
