Don't worry, it's not what you think. It's not more of those Twitter-tastic reruns of Glee and Fringe from last week. Instead, FOX thinks they can turn the concept behind the website TFLN (Texts from Last Night) into a TV series. What TFLN does is showcase real texts people sent in the middle of the night, generally with regrets later. It's this generation's drunk dialing.

The problem is that writer Steve Holland (Rules of Engagement) says that while it will feature "crazy stuff from last night, it's a lot more about the group of friends and their lives." Which is great, but it then makes me wonder how it's a dramatic interpretation of the website? If the focus isn't on the regrettable texts, then it's just another comedy about young people.

He tries to reconnect the site by saying, "The show is about twentysomethings in that post-college, pre-the-rest-of-their-lives limbo trying to figure out what to do, and texting is a large part of that." Yes, it is. But so is social networking. Are you going to spin-off a show based on Facebook next?
