Alec Baldwin has an idea for the most perfect science fiction show ever: a cross between Falcon Crest, Star Trek and Girls Gone Wild. Alec's show will be called Interplanetary Pie, or The Last Tango On Saturn, he tells the Hollywood Reporter. It's a sex-driven, family drama. Oh Alec you know the way to our hearts, through orgies and space travel. The best part is when he discusses how his characters will manage to land on planets and collect mineral samples, but then decides nobody cares about that. But seriously, why not make this show? It sounds like everything else that came out of the 70s. [Hollywood Reporter]

Don't want Alec Baldwin you little pig.
Sounds like BSG to me.
I would so watch this show. It's got everything. tits, space travel, tits, romance, more tits, lust, intrigue, and tits.
Does this including a talking pie? I think the talking pie would make it the most awesome show evah.
Sex driven family drama? It doesn't really compute unless it's a sex driven about a family.
Personally, I'd prefer Arrested Development in Space (with a talking pie.)
@Tim Faulkner: QFT!
@B: As someone who enjoys tits, would this show feature tits?
@ManchuCandidate:
er, sex driven drama... dumbass
MILF Planet
@ManchuCandidate: Talking pie FTW!
"Oh Alec you know the way to our hearts, through orgies and space travel"
Finally, someone has put into words my cult's religious beliefs.
Seriously, though, give me 30 Rock in space with Tracy Jordan as "Black Commander" and I am a fan for life.
hopefully, it will look something like this:
+ Watch video
I think MILF Island is more likely. Maybe Planet MILF.
Alec should just be happy on 30 rock. He's as nutty as he can get already.
@ManchuCandidate: And a killer robot driving instructor who travels back in time for some reason.
@Tim Faulkner: First thing that popped into my mind, except with 'toasters'...
Move over, Asimov, Clark, Heinlein, Herbert, P.K.Dick, et al,
Alec Baldwin IS sci-fi now.
I am going to vomit now. Chat among yourselves...
@darcymcgee: Plagiarismo de plagiarismo
I think Planet MILF should be on HBO.
You know, for the tits.
@DSTRYA: BUHWAHAHAHA
DAMN!
That was so funny I fell out of my chair!!
Last Tango on Uranus!
The 'Uranus Joke' is seriously one of the greatest jokes and it never gets tired. Any time you get a chance to slip in the 'Uranus Joke' take it and live life to the fullest. You'll be glad you did.
@BullfightsOnAcid: No one would want to tango on Uranus.
Actually, I'd pay to see all of the Baldwin brothers fight a duel to the death with Jayne Cobb (who is no relation to the other Baldwins)... in SPAAAAAAACE!!!!
@se7a7n7:
But is salad tossing okay?
@ManchuCandidate: On Uranus? No way.
@ManchuCandidate: vagina converser?
Setting himself up nicely for a Senatorial run.
You guys are weird.
@kimsama: This Planet MILF will be amazing.
And this was how many bottles of Dom into his interview?
Or scotch. Can't decide...or perhaps if he's got his New Orleans theme going, a sazerac or seven.
"Barbarella" really should be a TV show.... of maybe "Gossip Alien?"
"Alec Baldwin has an idea for the most perfect science fiction show ever: a cross between Falcon Crest, Star Trek and Girls Gone Wild."
Great sentence...or GREATEST sentence?
@Edward Bulwer-Lytton: He's drunk... on ideas!
@Edward Bulwer-Lytton: @Plague: @kimsama: You KNOW that's going to get made eventually. It's only a matter of time before the thing goes live.
Probably someone will do a streaming webcast of it first, then a network will pick it up. NBC will sue for the profits (based on the fact that it's copied from 30 Rock) then make their own, high budget version.
It'll happen. Hopefully long after I've taken a sledgehammer to my television, which is going to be later this summer or early fall.
@kimsama: Oh whoops. I didn't see that before my post. I'm sorry. Not intentional. I'm at work, and skulking at io9 in between other important things.
I figured someone had to say it...
Alec Baldwin is so fucking funny. Probably the funniest guy right now on TV (unfortunatly the rest of 30 rock is real bad)
@Creasy: If by "rest of 30 rock" you mean "Judah Friedlander," then yes, you're right.
Tina and Jane are brilliant, and they've had some of the best guest starring roles ever this season!
@MilesFromNowhere: I thought it was funny, even if no one else commented on it.
It sounds like the show the Always Sunny in Philly guys are doing for Fox.
@CapnCalamity: Ferris Beuller slayed me last week.
"Cooter Burger isn't even my real name!"
@Garrison Dean, King Awesome: It wasn't even a Burger.. it was a sandwich..
Actualy the whole, "It isn't leaking, I can show you the study" was great...
@CapnCalamity: I wouldn't call Tina a guest star on 30 Rock...star, writer, executive producer.
@amorphous: by this you mean that you're a breastfeeding one year old?
Dude, you've got MAD typing skills for such a young age.
Anything that generates a conversation about tits, Planet MILF, space duels between the Baldwins, tits, Uranus jokes and tits, gets my stamp of approvaltits.
I love that everyone says "it will be Planet MILF island"...
Yes Alec's character came up with that.. Alec's character is hyper-republician...
Which Alec is not..
Don't you think that maybe the "MILF island" was a joke....
Just like this 'show'.
I just woke up and this made my day for me. I mean, it gave me one big laugh. :p
@DocGratis: What??? It was a joke??? It was fictional????
Duh.
I still say MILF Island will happen. It ties into my basic theory of television, first outlined 15 years ago. It goes...
Television is GOOD at only two things:
1) Porn
2) Sports
ergo all television should be porn or sports.
The existence of CNN proves my theory that television is no good at news. The existence of...blurg...pretty much everything proves that it's not good at drama. The success of Two & A Half Men demonstrates that it's miserable at comedy (if you prefer, see either Full House or Family Matters. Both are adquate.)
The existence of reality television shocked even me. The success of Ryan Seacrest (who I wouldn't recognize if he hit me in the face) demonstrates that TV is only going farther down the slippery slope...
Ergo, MILF Island will happen. It's a natural evolution that started as a joke on the last funny show on TV.
Sadly, not even Tina Fey can save this sinking ship, although she continues to give me hope.
I got my rocket... and my suitcase! Mmm, mm!
