Ashton Kutcher Sells CBS 'Dear Girls Above Me' Twitter-Inspired Show

Dear Girls Above Me
Haven't gotten your fill of TV shows based on single-serving Twitter feeds? (If so, you're probably alone.) After the disappointing '$#*! My Dad Says' and the seemingly random snatching-up of @shhhdontellsteve by CBS, we figured we'd have some respite before another Twitter account turned to TV. But less than a month after Twitter fanatic Ashton Kutcher landed the deal for 'Don't Tell Steve,' the 'Punk'd' host and handbag for Demi Moore managed to sell another steaming pile of Twitter-inspired crap to the apparently desperate CBS.

Dear Girls Above Me is tale of whiny guy who lives below two obnoxious ingenues, told through 140 character "letters" directed at the titular "girls above." Each entry begins, "Dear girls above me," and is followed by an eye-rolling snippet overheard from his upstairs neighbors, such as, "'He said he was Spanish but not a Mexican. What the hell, that doesn't even make sense!' It does to the entire country of Spain." If there's any justice in this world, 'Dear Girls Above Me,' will never sully our airwaves and the only way for Kutcher to redeem himself is to reveal that this is all part of his biggest 'Punk'd' prank ever where eventually he tricks an entire network into bankruptcy by selling them worthless ideas he harvested for free from the Internet.
