Script Vs Screen

This week we are looking at ABC’s canceled sitcom Selfie, starring Karen Gillan (Guardians of the Galaxy, Dr. Who) and John Cho (Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle, Star Trek.) Selfie was written by veteran writer Emily Kapnek, who also created Suburgatory (2011-2014) and was based heavily on George Bernard Shaw’s play Pygmalion.   While the show did not last past one season, it is an interesting exploration of a show getting the axe just as it was just getting into its groove. Even though the show was canceled, we discover that the show got much better beyond the pilot and is worth finding and checking out.
