NBC has shot a pilot for a sitcom entitled "Nevermind Nirvana". It's about an east-Indian guy and his white fiancée, hence the reference to Nirvana...the Buddhist term denoting the extinction of dissatisfaction.
Hmmmm, what else does the title "Nevermind Nirvana" slyly refer to. Oh yes, there was a band called Nirvana, wasn't there? I believe they were big in the early 1990s. Wasn't their big-label debut breakout album entitled Nevermind? I'm sure it was. In fact, I remember reading somewhere that Nirvana's Nevermind was considered one of the most important albums in the history of rock and roll.
I wonder if NBC is hoping to capture both the multicultural crowd and thirty something grunge worshippers in one fell swoop? Clever bastards... Who wants to bet Courtney Love finds a way to sue?
