The Closer

Man, nothing says comedy like the inner workings of an upstart marketing firm. This aborted attempt to center a new sitcom around the charms of Tom Selleck. The former Magnum P.I. is cast here as a ‘living legend publicist’, as if such a thing even exists. Flanking the mustachioed lothario were a host of strong actors (Ed Asner, Penelope Ann Miller, Bernadette Peters and David Krumholtz), though none of them could save this ill-fated attempt from hitting the scrap heap.
