One of the finest pilots to come out of this year's New York Television Festival stretches the "odd couple" setup as far as it will go. In Saving a Legend, created by Murf Meyer and James Chupka, an evangelical teenager decides to embark on a mission from God in order to redeem his washed-up porn star college roommate.
The protagonists of Saving a Legend are Freddie Legend, played by Meyer, and Luke, played by Griffin Newman. In the pilot, which aired at Nytvf, we see Freddie and Luke arriving at an unspectacular state school for very different reasons. Luke is there to redeem as many sinners as he can, while Freddie is taking advantage of the free tuition he received for being older than 40. Naturally, they are paired up as roommates, and the comedy flows from their ridiculous interactions with one another.
