Hyper-chondriac
Ryan Murphy has big plans to never sleep again
Between finishing up Nip/Tuck, working on his new pilots Glee and 4 oz. (that one may be dead now?) for FOX and FX respectively, and preparing two new feature length films, it's pretty clear that Ryan Murphy's new pact with 20th Century Fox is going to net him a boatload of cash. The one thing he won't need to spend any of it on? A mattress. No man with this many jobs has time to close his eyes.
Now comes word that he still isn't satisfied with his workload. Variety is reporting that Murphy has another show in the works with NBC called Hyper-chondriac. Based on a book by Brian Frazer, the series will focus on a pharmaceutical rep who thinks he's sick all the time with who knows what. The half-hour sitcom will be exec produced and directed by Murphy.
Plastic surgery, transsexuals, hypochondriacs ... and high school glee clubs. Quite the eclectic list for a slate of ongoing and upcoming projects. Maybe this guy shouldn't sleep. His dreams must be ridiculous.
That being said, he created Nip/Tuck, so I'm willing to watch anything he puts his name on.
