why didn't we think of that?

Apparently Ben Jones, who played Cooter on the TV series The Dukes of Hazzard, has been complaining about the upcoming film version with arbiters of culture Johnny Knoxville and Seann William Scott. Jones likened the new film's take on the TV series to "taking I Love Lucy and making her a crackhead".

Now you just know that five minutes after this came out, a few dozen movie executives smacked themselves in the forehead and said, "My God, why didn't we think of that? Daffy, accident-prone housewife of Latin band leader...and she smokes crack! Get me Akiva Goldsman!"

Yes, I went there.
