News of the Weird: “Genius Bar” coming to a CBS affiliate near you
From the “Finally, something good on TV!” desk…
In case you ever thought that Apple would make a great soap opera, you might just get your wish, kind of. A brief blurb over at MovieWebsays that “CBS ordered a go ahead for the comedy pilot, Genius Bar.” If you that name sounds familiar to you, it should. The show, believe it or not, revolves around the adventures of employees of a store that just happens to be kind of like an Apple Store along with workers from a store that just kind of resembles Abercrombie and Fitch. Ah, suburban mall comedy!
Okay, so it’s not exactly a soap opera, and it’s not about Apple itself, but it’s probably the closest to an Apple show we’ll see on TV. Funky.

Yes this should be interesting depending on how much we know about Apple’s involvement. Sort of a question of “canon.” Will the show be given suggestions and limitations by Apple to maintain consistency with Apple’s brand image? If so then I think it would be a good way to view Apple’s brand in an alternative medium and hopefully we can more clearly see the spirit of the company through the show’s characters.
