Calling all members of Generation Y! Although the pilot has been online for a little while now, SELFIE officially premiered on ABC tonight, with some much needed edits. SELFIE, which is Lerner and Loewe's MY FAIR LADY (which was based off Bernard Shaw's PYGMALION) for the modern age, stars HAROLD and KUMAR and SLEEP HOLLOW's John Cho and DOCTOR WHO's Karen Gillan as an updated Henry Higgens and Eliza Dooley, respectively.
SELFIE which is a billed as a reimagining of Lerner and Loewe's MY FAIR LADY (which itself is based off of George Bernard Shaw's PYGMALION) follows the #blessed life of Eliza Dooley (the modern version of the role that pushed Julie Andrews to stardom), played by DOCTOR WHO's Karen Gillan. Eilza works in sales at a pharmaceutical company but her real achievement is the thousands of friends and followers she's acquired on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
ABC and Twitter are offering users an exclusive first look at a full-length episode of ABC's new fall comedy, “Selfie,” that will launch on Twitter on WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 20, 2014.
