CBS has put in development Stripes, a single-camera comedy based on the 1981 Bill Murray-Harold Ramis film, Deadline has learned. The project hails from the Whitest Kids U’Know trio of Trevor Moore, Sam Brown and Zach Cregger, Sony Pictures TV and CBS Television Studios. Ivan Reitman, who helmed the movie, is attached to direct and executive produce via his the Montecito Picture Company.

Really??? Something like 75% of the jokes from the movie will not even past muster in today's PC culture. The cast of the movie had some of the greatest comedic talents of the era.

[Obadiah]

I predict epic failure.

[relictele]

Cue the bomb whistle.

[Army Air Corps]

I agree. The film would melt many a snowflake, so I do not see CBS making a series that resembles the movie. If anything, it will be loosely based on the film.

[WKUHilltopper]

More stupid and irrelevant ideas from “GrabmyWood”, CA.

A chance to be Super Diverse . There was no story just the Great people in it

[GotMojo]

Lighten up Francis!

[Red Badger]

From M*A*S*H to A*S*H.....................

Cue the bomb whistle.

Does this mean we're done for the day?

[toast]

I was a kid when it was out but I still remember the “Aunt Jemima Treatment”

Something like 75% of the jokes from the movie will not even past muster in today's PC culture.

Any of you homos touch me ... and I'll kill ya.
Lighten up, Francis.

It was tried with Animal House, Big Chill, and Remo Williams.

Stripes is a classic movie and should be left alone.

[wally_bert]

The EM50 will be an eco friendly unarmed hybrid.

[\/\/ayne]

My basic training platoon was pretty much like the Stripes platoon but it wasn’t that funny.

[themidnightskulker]

Didn’t someone try this with Private Benjamin once?

[SamAdams76]

I was in Marine boot camp around the time this movie came out and it was NOTHING like Marine Boot camp. Not even close!

[poinq]

This can only be a huge let down.

[UCANSEE2]

More proof that Hollywood has completely run out of ideas.

[wally_bert]

Eileen Brennan said it best “Private Benjamin.”.

Stupid show.

At Ease was another.

[wally_bert]

Wait for the new, new Perry Mason series.

The New Perry Mason idea was tried in the 70s with Monterey Markham.

Ironside 2.0 flopped.
