In a clear attempt to capitalize on the creative and commercial success of sister network Disney Channel’s Dog With A Blog—and to out-crazy NBC’s funeral-home musical soap opera—ABC has ordered a new single-camera sitcom that includes a talking dog. Downward Dog is based on a web series by Samm Hodges and Michael Killen and follows a woman and her dog, with confessional-style voiceovers by the dog bracketing each scene. “Maybe we don’t need to worry about fleas. Maybe we need to worry about flee-ing… what’s in our hearts.” That sort of thing. Probably.
