George Clooney Producing Delta Blues
Tue, October 27, 2009 
God love him. Back in the day (pre-my existence on this Earth), my uncle used to be an Elvis impersonator. Cut to nowadays, he’s a preacher. Talk about pulling a 180, eh? I’m sure there will plenty of jokes in his direction if this becomes a weekly series.
THR reports that TNT has given the go-ahead on Delta Blues, a pilot chronicling a cop who spends his off-hours as a professional impersonator of his royal King-ness. Oh and he still lives at home with good old mom. Presumably, he also solves mysteries and what not. No word on any wise-cracking animal sidekick. The potential show-starter is being executive-produced by George Clooney and written by Cold Case alum Liz Garcia.
So the network that “knows drama” opts to include Blues in their lineup next year, you can expect to see hundreds of thousands of minutes worth of commercials promoting the Hell outta this. So, you’ve been warned.
