9/26: Former 99Xer Steve Barnes working on a local TV series
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Steve Barnes, former morning host at 99X and Dave FM, is working on a locally produced and shot TV series called “High Rise.”
Here are the details on the site:
Michael Damian (CBS-The Young & The Restless) and Steve Barnes to produce 20 episodes of a new series called “High Rise” to be shot in Atlanta. High Rise will have the feel of ABC’s Desperate Housewives and HBO’s Entourage featuring a story about characters living in one of Atlanta’s most elite properties. Casting will begin early October in Atlanta and shooting is slated to begin soon.
A demo video is available here.
There are no details of a network commitment or who’s funding this.

He’s got to be kidding. Who’s going to watch this drivel? The same 2 people who listened to him and Holly Firfer on Dave. Loved Holly, but I was glad Steve was let go.

I checked out the clip, and yes…it is AWFUL. Sorry, Captain Back Acne, but that is NOT a winner, no more than your last movie.

Jeez! Just how long is this godawful clip!? And it’s ALL BARNES! Not only that, but it’s all Barnes doing the same robot character we’ve come to know and loathe.
Given a choice between regular episodes of High Rise and waterboarding, I’m sure all the detainees at Gitmo would choose waterboarding.

WOW!!! That was far worse than I expected and I expected it to be lousy. Ooooh Barnsie you are so intimidating. Robotic to the nth degree. Perhaps he had his whole spine fused up.
Also great job on trying to turn your website into a mini-myspace. Hilarious!!!
This really should be on Funnyordie.com because the only drame was me trying to figure out if any of Stephen Duane speaking lines would be longer than one sentence.
