If dying is easy and comedy is hard, then writing comedy for Disney Channel must be harder still. Take the biology joke originally considered for the network's new sitcom "Good Luck Charlie," which is slated to premiere in the spring. A teenage girl and her "hot" classmate are snuggled on the couch during a study date. When he reaches to turn off the light, she was to say: "Now I'm in the mood for some biology." The line received a hearty laugh at a table reading but also raised the eyebrows of Adam Bonnett, Disney Channel's senior vice president of original series, who jokingly asked the show's creative team if they could convey the same information without being "so . . . biological." The dialogue was eventually replaced by a chaste glance. "There was sensitivity that she was being a little too forward," Bonnett said. www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/la-et-disney-comedy31-2009dec31,0,6452567.story
