Now a little enterprise called The American Broadcasting Company, or ABC for short, has a Stumptown all its own. This fall, the network is debuting a new show called “Stumptown,” featuring Cobie Smulders of “How I Met Your Mother” fame starring as Dex Parios, a rules-flaunting, devil-may-care, gambling-addicted cop on the city beat. The show is an adaptation of the graphic novel series “Stumptown,” which was launched by Portland-based publisher Oni Press in 2009, ten years after Stumptown Coffee opened its first cafe. Mere seconds into the official trailer, one can’t help but wonder whether ABC is trolling the coffee company. Kenyan.”Sure, this could be a ham-fisted jab (not JAB) at Portland coffee culture in general, a la “Portlandia,” where even lowlife kidnappers are obsessed with things like regional coffee terroir and the resulting flavor notes.
