“Blunt Talk” will be produced by Media Rights Capital and targeted to premiere next year. Stewart will play a British newscaster, Walter Blunt, who comes to America to conquer cable news. Starz’s significant commitment to the project that was shopped to pay-TV outlets, including Netflix and Showtime, signals the cabler’s interest in building a lineup of half-hour comedies.
“In the character of Walter Blunt, Seth, Jonathan and Patrick have found the alchemy that makes a borderline alcoholic, mad-genius-Brit the man you want fighting in America’s corner,” Starz CEO Chris Albrecht said. “Seth and Jonathan have struck the right balance between biting wit and outright absurdity in building this world, and we cannot wait for Patrick to breathe life into Walter.”
Macfarlane has let me down in his ventures outside Family Guy. I don't think he's versatile enough for humour outside of retarded animated characters, violence and slapstick.
Nothing wrong with those, Family Guy is one of my favourite shows, but ...

Precisely. I think he's just, well too "limited" to experiment with something different from the usual, which is a shame. Once he leaves the comfort area, the magic doesn't work anymore.
For some reason people seem to like the various Teds though, so unfortunately he won't stop anytime soon :<
This one looks interesting, here's hoping the gool ol' Patrick can carry the show.
Aw, this season's finale definitely did feel like some sort of closure, and given the low ratings I'm not surprised. 'Twas a nice timewaster till it lasted, I regret nothing xD
