Pitch #1

Picture this.....Kristen Schaal and myself in the American version of The Vicar of Dibley. It's GENIUS. We set it in the south and call it The Episcopal Bishop of Shreveport. Come on it'll be fun!

Truth be told there has been a US Version kicking around already. Jane Leeves and Peri Gilpin set up their production company Bristol Cities with a U.S. version of The Vicar of Dibley as their first project. On 6 February 2007, Fox announced plans to adapt The Vicar of Dibley into an American sitcom, titled The Minister Of Divine. The series starred Kirstie Alley as a former "Wild Child" who returned to her hometown as its first female minister. The series was not picked up by Fox for its 2007–2008 schedule.

Fox's loss is FX's gain in my opinion!! Other competing networks are free to apply. hahahaha!
