Last night, the Emmy for Best Comedy went to 30 Rock, a show set in the eponymous building between Forty-Ninth and Fiftieth between Fifth and Sixth. The Emmy for Best Drama went to Mad Men, a show set in a fictional office building right around the corner between Forty-Seventh and Forty-Eighth between Madison and Park.
While watching the Emmy's last night, a few of us thought it was high time to write a show set on the block right in the middle. This would be the block between Forty-Eighth and Forty-Ninth and Madison and Fifth.
I took this photo last December from the Palace Hotel (where Gossip Girl frequently shoots). The skyscraper in the middle is Tower 49 (where our brilliant show will be set). The building in the foreground on the left, by the way, is where DDB is headquartered (the ad agency formerly called DDB Needham whose history partially inspired Mad Men). On the right is the office building for New York Magazine, which will hopefully write several articles about our show. (They tend to write quite a bit about Mad Men, Gossip Girl and 30 Rock.)
