Ladies and gentlemen, just when the new fall lineup has done its best to convince you that television brilliance is dead, HBO hangs in there and creates electronic brilliance. A new show, involving three of our favorite people in the universe: Former BWE panelist and current superstar Patton Oswalt, the unbelievably dreamy and hilarious Bradley Cooper, and former State castmember and current haute-director Michael Patrick Jan. Needless to say, the show sounds unbelieves:

HBO is developing “Intelligence,” a comedy series project starring Bradley Cooper and Patton Oswalt.

The project, created by Michael Patrick Jann, is a workplace comedy about an elite counter-intelligence unit hidden undercover as disgruntled civil servants. Jann, who recently helmed an episode of HBO’s offbeat comedy series “Flight of the Conchords,” will write “Intelligence” and is on board to direct. He will executive produce alongside Cooper and Oswalt.

You know who we feel sorta bad for? Wayne Knight. The ultimate mailman, and totally left out of a show dealing with civil servants! He never should’ve lost all that weight. In other news, we just programmed our invisi-tivos to record this in 2009!
