Can't wait to hear some of the hi-larious one liners that the laugh track will get to react to.

Bourbon-based 'comedy' in the works at NBC
- Thread starter funKYcat75
- Start date
The show is titled “Sour Mash,” according to Deadline, and follows the story of a brilliant Latina chemist from Brooklyn who becomes the master distiller at a failing family-owned distillery in Kentucky. She finds that the most difficult part of the job is dealing with the eccentric family that hired her.
Lol nope. Noooooope.

I love how she has to be Latina. Seems to fit well with all of the Hispanic distilleries in central Kentucky. They really did their research on that one.
Brilliant Latina: Do you guys think there is too much C6H12O6 in the caryopsis of this Zea Mays?
Stereotypical redneck 1: Wut?
Stereotypical redneck 1: Hold on. I taked chemistry at Morehead. I think what she's sayin is that there corn is a might too sweet.
Brilliant Latina: ¡Ay díos mío!

Let's see.......I predict.
The head of the family wears a string tie and look like Colonel Sanders.
His wife will be an a busty redhead alcoholic who wears tight clothing and speaks in double entendres.
The son is gay and wants to start making flavored vodka.

Sounds like if George Lopez made a guest appearance on a Duck Dynasty/Moonshiners crossover special.
Beat me to it on the gay character. Every show has to incorporate a gay character these days.
I'm going to say the son is gay and left Kentucky to go to California for college. He just graduated from Cal-Berkeley and the dad talks him into coming back home to learn to run the family business. While back home, he tries to convince the family to sell the business and move to Napa Valley and make wine instead.
They will have an underage daughter that is always getting into trouble. She will be constantly stealing bourbon to trade to the local marijuana grower for bags of weed.
The dad comes from a family of bootleggers and moonshiners. He left the hills when he was younger and decided to turn his knowledge of liquor manufacturing into a distillery business. He tries to ignore his backwoods upbringing and act like a city man and doesn't want to have anything to do with his kin folk.
The wife is your stereotypical small town beauty queen turned gold digger. She hooks up with the dad when the business was taking off, but now just constantly complains about the decrease in cash flow from the struggling business while still maxing out credit cards.
There will be an alcoholic small town sheriff that takes bourbon in return for turning a blind eye to the daughter's misdeeds.
The Latino chick keeps having second thoughts about working at the distillery. She has a hard time fitting in with all the non northerners and keeps talking about going back home to Brooklyn where she grew up and start her own business.
They will have a rival distillery owner that is constantly poking fun at the dad and his distillery and trying to get him to sell it to him. He also will be constantly hitting on the wife and trying to get her to leave her old man and be with a "real man".
Throw in a crazy old grandpa and some awkward times with the in laws coming to visit constantly.
That's about all I got.
We should write a treatment to sell to NBC about a holler-raised good ol' boy who moves to Russia to take over his family's faltering Vodka business.
The Muslim / Latina will be the tolerant one, putting up with racist Christians trying to sexually assault her. She will then kick 6 white guys asses at once, telling them "when I say no, it's no". The rapist Christian white men in camo will then beg her to let them go. And she will, because she's a good person that just had enough.
Black eyeliner and all that. They'll turn her into a cat woman like figure at times.
Most of the men in Marion County worked in distilleries when they passed Prohibition. Proud providers of big Catholic families were suddenly deemed criminals by the Feds. Capone was happy to help.They became moonshiners and faced a year in prison if caught. You just didn't talk to or trust the government. Dillinger hid out in Gravel Switch for a spell while robbing banks. When Reagan declared war on drugs decades later, helicopters were used for the first time in the U.S. to find pot in Marion County. They seized property for what had been a misdemeanor. 70 arrests and no one talked. Some have only recently been released.
