: : : I did attend the taping of the pilot
: show.
: It is loosely based on the radio show and
: on Phil's real life. In the show, Phil
: (goes by his first name) is a retired
: Detroit cop who moves to Florida and
: becomes the head of security for the
: "Floral Estates" gated
: community. I found the show to be very
: funny...better than a couple of current
: top shows. If this show is not picked by
: NBC, I can see Lloyd meeting the network's
: executives with a "piece of piano
: wire."
: :Sounds great. Hopefully Phil will hold a
: screening whether or not NBC does pick it
: up. Are the characters based on those on
: his radio show (Laurie Metcalf a
: "Bobbie Dooley", French Stewart
: "Jay Santos")...?

:As far as the characters you had mentioned, you're right on target, Mike! I also heard the voice of Margaret Gray on "Phil's" speaker phone during the taping of the last scene. Those execs at NBC should smell pure comedy gold!
