Really?

Fox buys sitcom based on Dogfish Head - delawareonline.com
The first time Dogfish Head had some major television exposure, it was for its short-lived 2010 documentary series “Brew Masters” on the Discovery Channel. Next time, it could be the backdrop for a prime-time family sitcom on network TV with characters based on the real-life Dogfish founders, Sam and Mariah Calagione, and their two children, Sammy, 13, and Grier, 11. Fox has purchased the show, which would star its co-creator, actor Ken Marino (“Party Down,” “The State”), a longtime friend of Sam Calagione who helped him paint the brewery’s flagship Rehoboth Beach brewpub before it first opened.

Glad I don’t watch TV.

+1 and I like Sam but that’s a bit much.

Interesting.  So here’s a question for everyone, if they made a sitcom based on you and your family, who would play you?  For myself, I would hope they would pick Antonio Banderas but I’m sure my wife would suggest they pick Horatio Sanz.

Lol

I wonder if they are going to have some yeast related emergencies.
Never saw so much under attenuated beer in my life.

7

Don’t care who they get to play me, as long as Denny plays my down and out father.

8

+1. Me either!  That’s my biggest complaint with them. It tastes like all their beers finish at 1.020.

Never met you Keith, but saw you in the video interview from the Magic City Brewfest and I would think they would get Vince Neil to play you.  8)

Ouch, that’s a backhanded compliment if I ever heard one. I’m a fan of the Crüe, but Vince has been looking pretty rough the past few years. He sounds like crap live, too - he sings like very other word at best.

11

Audie Murphy, or maybe Tom Selleck, or maybe Johnny Weissmuller…

Wait, wait, I know!  Mortimer Snerd!  Yeah, that’s it!

12

I’m a 43 year old brewer and father of two. Trust me, I look pretty rough.

13

IDK, considering most of the crappy shows on Fox, I’d at least give this one a look - at least once.

14

Ooh, ooh, THAT’S a better idea than Dogfish Head!

15

I would want Charlton Heston to play me, or better yet, maybe I’ll start acting like Heston and people will think they are watching a movie about me being played by Heston.

16

Nice thing about that is there’s options if Horatio isn’t available.

17

;D My wife got a kick out of this!  Judge Kagan, we all know she can act!

Apparently, this was news to Sam. I’ll reserve judgement until I see it.

I’m just not the TV watching kinda guy. I’d much rather be brewing. :slight_smile:

Now if Sam and his family are a secret team of super heros fighting the evil organization InBev and their army of henchmen, the mulletts, I may watch an episode or two.  ;D
