Sitcom Resorts To Wizard Of Oz-Themed Fantasy Episode

BURBANK, CA–Desperate for plotlines as its fifth season winds down, NBC’s Just Shoot Me resorted to the time-honored Wizard Of Oz-themed fantasy episode Thursday. “David [Spade] gets hit over the head, and when he wakes up, he’s in Oz,” head writer Alex Cohen said. “Laura [San Giacomo] is The Tin Man, George [Segal] is the Cowardly Lion, Wendie [Malick] is the Scarecrow, and David–here’s the best part–is Dorothy.” Cohen said plans are already in the works for a late-December It’s A Wonderful Life fantasy episode.
