'Jefferson County Probation' was shelved amidst the chaos of a corporate merger and COVID, Alabama-raised comedian Roy Wood Jr. says. But he would like to revisit the problem of recidivism. 'We’re not done developing ideas in Birmingham,” roywoodjr said.
. “The pilot we shot in Birmingham, they never liked, so they wanted us to reshoot it. So they gave me a new writer and we were working on a new script, and during the script, the merger with Viacom happened, with Comedy Central and Viacom.
Reviving “Jefferson County Probation” would be difficult, Wood said, but he hasn’t given up on the concept of the series. “I do think the world of recidivism is relevant and it needs to be spoken to, so if I can’t get them to give me the show back, then it probably turns into something that I just have to remix in a way that doesn’t step on creatively what I did with Comedy Central,” Wood said.
“You know, in hindsight, I would have never been able to predict the market, and what the market was going to turn into, the merger, and their intentions on changing and getting out of scripted concepts,” Wood said. “But if I could do it all over again, I wouldn’t have done that idea with Comedy Central. I would have done something else. Because that idea, the world of probation, is very very special to me. It’s probably one of the things that I’m extremely disappointed about.
