'Genius Bar' TV Pilot
Hollywood Reporter notes a new comedy television pilot ("Genius Bar") that has been given the go ahead by CBS.
The idea reportedly drew strong interest from ABC, CBS and NBC but finally ended up at CBS. The show will be written by Josh Sternin and Jeff Ventimilia who were executive producers of Fox's "That 70's Show".
The show is based on an idea by "consumer marketing expert" Krishnan Menon who had previously been involved with the launch and marketing of the iMac and iPod for Apple.
... the project explores the interactions between people who work at a place similar to the Genius Bar at the Apple stores and the cool, hip and beautiful employees at a nearby Abercrombie & Fitch-type store.

As always, it all depends on the writing.
This could be crap, or gold. Here's hoping to gold!

Before people get confused... it seems like it would not be a real "Apple" store in the show
"at a place similar to the Genius Bar at the Apple stores"
Apple probably isn't involved in this thing at all. Instead it will be a Apple-ish setting...
Kinda like how Studio 60 TV station is "NBS" (not NBC)

I don't know. The writers are from Fox. Enough said.
Dude, Fox Entertainment is different from Fox News. Fox gave us Family Guy, Simpsons, Prison Break, 24, and I believe Arrested Development.

If its the people who made Simspons, Family Guy and Arrested Develupment...I think the show would be gold!

yeah, but those writers aren't writing this show. I wasn't a big fan of That 70's Show but it wasn't too bad... I don't really see that same format succeeding with the outline above though.

The Apple connection is a bit of a stretch don't you think?
The co-founder of Apple was on the Colbert Report last night but that isn't front page news.
