Staten Island Gets Small Screen Treatment

1008sisign.jpgTelevision watchers clearly didn't get enough of Staten Island through the MTV special True Life: I'm a Staten Island Girl, so it's a good thing "FX is developing a New York-set police drama with former West Wing writer/executive producer Lawrence O'Donnell" based on the borough.

The Hollywood Reporter has all the details, and it looks like SI should start getting ready for its close-up! [via Staten Island Advance; photo cred]

I've been to SI. Once. Those of us that survived the expedition will never forget the terrible screams of the friends we left behind as we escaped.

We believe they were eaten.
