Battlefield: Bad Company the TV Series from FOX

[Shawn Zipay]

There are at least two things going on in that title that should never be put together in one phrase. Yes, Fox is apparently slated to create an action comedy series based off of EA's and DICE's Battlefield: Bad Company franchise.

It is slated to be an hour long for each episode. It will be written by John Eisendrath (Alias) and will feature the "main characters from the game."

It follows four renegade soldiers as they exit military life and enter the private sector. But trouble is never far behind as they realize their commanding officer had used them to further the ends of a shadow unit within the government and now wants them dead to cover his tracks. Eisendrath is executive producing with Happy Madison’s Doug Robinson and EA’s Patrick Bach and Patrick O’Brien.

Alright, let's hear your thoughts on this one!

TBQH, I am looking forward to the promo i know video game to tv is somewhat not the best idea, but looking forward to what they can create out of it

I will watch it. If the banter and wit is as well written as it is in the games, it should be good.

The only problem is that I think the "action" era is over. So I dont see it being on the tube for long.

Can be an epic fail or the new M.A.S.H. (or something randomly located in between )

[DunkinSPE]

Won't this be kind of a spoof of the TV series "The Unit" except with more comedic events? And as it is Network TV how do they work around all the profanity that came in the game itself?
