Page "Mr. Show with Bob and David" Paragraph 58

Odenkirk and Cross reunited in 2008 to create the HBO pilot David's Situation, which was shot but never aired or picked up.

The network gave the pair $ 400, 000 to shoot a pilot ( which was shot on the Everybody Loves Raymond soundstage ), which appeared to go well during the taping ; however, while Cross and Odenkirk were editing the episode, they felt it failed to " capture that same energy on screen.

" In an interview with Vanity Fair, Cross said, " We told them that we didn ’ t want to do this show, we ’ d rather do Mr. Show 2. 0.

And they were like, ' Yeah, O. K., that ’ s great, but the thing is, we don ’ t have any more money for this year.

But we ’ ll figure out something next year.

' And we never heard from them again.
