So when you think of fantasy drama, your mind probably doesn't automatically drift to E!, the network devoted to gossiping about showbiz rather than creating it. But E! Entertainment Television, a subsidiary of NBC Universal, is working several scripted dramas for the upcoming season--one of them spun off from concepts related to the Wizard of Oz.
Dorothy is "inspired by the book Dorothy and The Wizard of Oz about a girl from Kansas City who falls for a man and moves with him to the Emerald City to work at his Emerald Hotel." It's from writer Natalie Krinsky, who worked on Gossip Girl and Grey's Anatomy, and wrote the high-buzz screenplay for the upcoming film The Museum of Broken Relationships.
She also seems to be the same Natalie Krinsky who wrote Chloe Does Yale, an outgrowth of her sex advice column in the Yale Daily News. So that's an interesting background for a revisionist take on Dorothy Gale, as developed for E!.
So far that's all we know. Is anyone else picturing Joan Rivers standing alongside the Yellow Brick Road, dissing Dorothy's Kansas couture? Everyone is? Okay then.
