According to a story in The Hollywood Reporter, Ray Romano of Everybody Loves Raymond fame is in talks to star in his own limited-run HBO comedy series from Joel Surnow and Bob Cochran, the creators of 24.  The ten episode single-camera series would feature Romano as a billionaire who finds out he only has six months to live.  Dennis Klein, creator of The Larry Sanders Show, is on board as a writer and, along with Surnow, Cochran and Romano, as executive producer. 

After my recent musings about the future of HBO, it’s good to hear about something potentially interesting in development, though I don’t know if Romano will be believable as a billionaire.
