"Grey's Anatomy," "Scandal" and "How to Get Away With Murder" exec Betsy Beers recently said that she and Shonda Rhimes are desperate to have a comedy show.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Beers revealed that she and Rhimes actually started working together in movie comedies.
When asked what she things will happen if the three hit ABC shows are to have their own comedy spinoffs, Beers said that it's a difficult question to answer.
"That is one of the best questions. I don't have a clue except, damn it would be funny! Damn, we'd be funny! Since all we want to do is a get a comedy on the air, that's like you're giving good comedy vibrations for me here. That would be incredibly entertaining," she said.
Meanwhile, the publication also went as far as asking the cast members of "Grey's Anatomy," "Scandal" and "How to Get Away With Murder" on what they think of having a comedy spinoff for their shows and their characters.
Kevin McKidd, who plays the role of Owen Hunt, said that his character will be a villainous boss, but one that would be more like a caricature.
Caterina Scorsone said, "I'm not sure that it's not a comedy! I realize we cry a lot but so much of what's great about comedy is seeing humans in uncertainty.
Bellamy Young, who plays the role of Mellie Grant, said, "Mellie has her comedic moments. Smelly Mellie is built for comedy and I'll be available in ten years!"
Do you think these three ABC shows should have a comedy spinoff?
