Truth in Advertising, a new series from Greer Shephard and Michael Robin, executive producers of TNT's popular The Closer, is close to having its pilot picked up buy the network. Robin is also set to direct.
The drama takes place in the fictional Greene, Rothman and Mohr advertising agency and focuses on the men and women who work there. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the pilot is, for all intents and purposes, already picked up by TNT, though it's not official just yet.
Between this new series and Mad Men on AMC, we should have our fill of TV shows about advertising.
TNT also recently picked up Family Man, a series written by and starring William H. Macy as a man who steals from big corporations and gives the money to charity.
You know, if I was one to believe in conspiracy theories, I'd say the networks were trying to make advertising sexy again in order to condition us to subconsiously start watching commercials again. That might explain my reoccuring sexy dreams involving this man:
