DeLIRIA
One Nation Under Bob
(half-hour comedy pilot)
eLiria, Minnesota is a quaint little town near the US-Canadian border. And, though the people who live there don't know it, the town was cursed 150 years
ago. Bob Butterfield, however, has always known there was something wrong the place. So he was more than happy to leave DeLiria as soon as he could -- intent on never having to return. But he does return. Many years later. And he's not at all surprised when -- in a case of mistaken identity -- he's named Honorary Mayor. Not surprisingly, when a twister sweeps through town and carries away the real mayor, the townspeople turn to Bob. Bob reluctantly agrees to help them apply for Federal Assistance, but learns that a shift in the Pigeon River (in 1877) lowered the Canadian border to include DeLiria. When the Canadian officials laugh at the idea that DeLiria is Canadian, Bob realizes that DeLiria is not part of either country. It is, in fact, its own country. Which makes Bob (to his chagrin) President of (the Nation of) DeLiria.

Impulsively, she accepts before Phil has the chance to ask. After well wishes and cheers from the other patrons, Phil decides to broach the subject later. In his next attempt, meets Trish's father, who's says Trish is out, but he's so impressed with Phil that he offers him a lucrative job at his company. Phil, of course, accepts, and figures he'll deal with his impending wedding later. When he shows up for his first day of work, he's not-so-delighted to learn that Trish is his new boss.
