Seth Rogen’s comedy — and porn — stylings head to Showtime

Columbia Pictures Presents A Screening Of

Fresh off his success in Kevin Smith’s Zack and Miri Make a Porno, comedian Seth Rogen has signed with Showtime to develop a series that draws its humor from its XXX setting.

Variety reports that Rogen and creative partner Evan Goldberg are working on a show for the network about three friends in their 20s whose lives are full of highjinks because they run a pornography shop together. Rogen and Goldberg will exec produce the as-yet-untitled project, written by Matthew Bass, who also worked with the pair on the hit films Pineapple Express and Superbad.

If Showtime greenlights the series, we have a few possible suggestions for when to run it:

• As a lead-in to Californication, which also revels in scatological humor and easy, if awkward, sex.

• Right after Weeds, to capitalize on the stoner-flick following the Botwins have generated.

What do you think? Is there room for another porn/pot comedy on Showtime? Weigh in below.
