Footballers Wives comes to ABC


If you haven't seen this hoot of a show on BBC America, you're missing out. It is great fun...better than Desparate Housewives, for sure. And should be fun in the US version:


Footballers' Wives is heading to the US after it was sold to ABC, but instead of scoring goals they will be making touchdowns instead.
The stateside version of the ITV1 show will be made by Touchstone Television and produced by comedy writer Marco Pennette, whose credits include Ugly Betty.
The ABC show will feature the same over-the-top plotlines and characters, but it will be centred around American football, not that the UK version of the show ever featured much sporting action anyway.
