The title of which should be: What is Barry Sonnenfeld not directing next season?

Here’s something totally different. Or not.
Barry Sonnenfeld is directing and executive producing a comedy for ABC, tentatively titled “Buddies.”
The Hollywood Reporter says it’s a “single-camera buddy comedy set in the world of ‘80s cops.”
First off, for those of you not in the “biz,” a single-camera comedy is the 30 Rock, Curb Your Enthusiasm style as opposed to Seinfeld and Friends. Wikipedia says this gives a “slicker and more polished look.”
Second, what exactly is “the world of ‘80s cops”?
Did they wear Members Only jackets and use too much hair gel? Did they argue about whether Lisa Bonet was better in The Cosby Show or A Different World?
Anyhow, if you want to see all the other things that Barry’s up to these days on television, check out our previous post, here. The list is, frankly, getting too long to recap each time he adds something else to the pile.

OMG, Kirok, thank you so much for that. I’d totally forgotten about TJ and the sight of a shirtless (and glistening) Adrian Zmed is nearly too much for my heart to handle.
