Fox Orders Animated Pilot Presentation From NBA Star Blake Griffin & Imagine TV 

Post#1 » by mkwest » Fri Aug 5, 2016 8:04 pm

Fox has given a pilot presentation order to Okies of Bel Air, an animated comedy executive produced by Los Angeles Clippers star Blake Griffin. The project, written by writer-comedian Sean O’Connor (The Late Late Show), hails from Imagine TV and 20th Century Fox TV. It borrows some elements from Griffin’s life.

In the vein of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and Beverly Hills Hillbillies, Okies of Bel Air is the story of a family of humble Oklahoma catfish farmers who, after their basketball prodigy son is chosen first overall in the NBA draft, pack up and move to the tony enclave of Bel Air, where they’ll struggle to preserve their down-home sensibilities amidst a vast cultural wasteland where Kardashian reigns supreme and pressed juice is considered a viable alternative to childhood vaccinations.


Griffin, who has done some event hosting and occasional standup in his spare time, may voice the project but only if his basketball season schedule allows. Griffin executive produces Okies with Dave Jeser, Matt Silverstein and Imagine’s Brian Grazer and Francie Calfo.
