The “MacGruber” TV series that Will Forte and his co-creators are pitching ― “to some places,” as he told Jimmy Fallon last month ― is too “filthy” to be shown on network television. ″‘MacGruber’ is such a filthy situation, and I don’t know, there’s no way that this would ever be a network TV thing,” Forte said in a recent interview with IndieWire. “This would be more likely someplace that would let us say the F-word, and talk about penises for 90 percent of the show. That’s likely not gonna be a network thing.”“MacGruber” began as a series of sketches on “Saturday Night Live” that parodied the “MacGyver” TV series that starred Richard Dean Anderson from 1985 to 1992. “The state of ‘MacGruber’ right now is, we’re trying to see if somebody will let us make it as a TV series,” Forte told IndieWire.
