BORED TO DEATH

Jonathan Ames, a young Brooklyn writer, is feeling lost. He's just gone through

a painful break-up, thanks in part to his drinking, can't write his second novel,

and carouses too much with his magazine editor. Rather than face reality,

Jonathan turns instead to his fantasies — moonlighting as a private detective

— because he wants to be a hero and a man of action.

The offbeat comedy series 'Bored to Death,' created by Jonathan Ames (author

of several books, including the acclaimed graphic novel 'The Alcoholic'), follows

the misadventures of a fictional Jonathan Ames as he pursues his quixotic

dream of emulating his heroes from classic private detective novels.

'Bored to Death' stars Jason Schwartzman ('The Darjeeling Limited') as

Jonathan Ames; Ted Danson ('Damages,' HBO's 'Curb Your Enthusiasm') as

George Christopher, a high-profile magazine editor and Jonathan's boss; and

Zach Galifianakis ('The Hangover') as comic book illustrator Ray Hueston,

Jonathan's confidant. BORED TO DEATH was created by Jonathan Ames;

executive producers, Jonathan Ames, Sarah Condon, Stephanie Davis, Dave

Becky and Troy Miller; co-executive producer, Tracey Baird; producers, Mark

Baker and Anna Dokoza.
