<!-- end .byline -->LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – FX has ordered a comedy pilot whose logline makes it sound like an unofficial "Star Trek" parody.
Set a thousand years in the future, "Alabama" follows the crew of the space ship USS Alabama as they continue a seven-year mission to maintain interplanetary peace.
"The show will follow the heart-pounding action as our crew visits hostile planets, meets alien life forms and tries to have sex with each other in their tiny, metal bunk beds," FX said in a statement.
"Alabama" is created by and stars "Reno 911!" veterans Thomas Lennon and Ben Garant and, just like the former Comedy Central series, will be part scripted and part improvised.
Could be a good one!
