ZITS

Squelching rumors that Zits will find life on television in a live-action interpretation, Jim Borgman, who draws the strip over Jerry Scott’s jokes, told jkiesewetter at cincinnati.com/blogs that CBS had turned down a pilot script. “Borgman says everyone at CBS liked the pilot script except for Les Moonves, CBS Corp. president and CEO. And that killed their chances at CBS. A TV version of Zits is not totally dead, but Borgman isn't counting on it ever seeing it. ‘It’s off my radar screen,’ Borgman said.” In 2000, another round of rumors said that Borgman and Scott had a deal for a Zits movie, but that faded, too.
