<p>Have we told you how mind-numbingly excited Betabeat is for HBO's forthcoming comedy, <em>Silicon Valley</em>? That the network's <a href="http://betabeat.com/2012/12/silicon-valley-finally-gets-the-tv-treatment-it-deserves-from-the-dude-who-wrote-beavis-and-butt-head/">inspired decision to hire</a> the creators of <em>Beavis and Butthead</em> to write a TV show about startups thrust us into a fit of giggling anticipation?<!--more--></p>
<p>So, now we have. And we're happy to report that reading snippets of the script for the show's <a href="http://qz.com/44671/hbo-comedy-silicon-valley-is-a-lot-better-than-bravo-reality-show-silicon-valley/">pilot episode </a>has only served to increase our high hopes.</p>
<p>According to Quartz, the opening credits begin like so: "We see shot after shot of things that pass for exciting in Silicon Valley," including the "shit brown colored hills of Mountainview," "Steve Ballmer ranting on stage," and "Elon Musk with a Rocket."</p>
<p>There is a character named Peter Gregory, who is a venture capitalist and apparently a dead giveaway for Peter Thiel.</p>
<p>And there is the plot, which goes a little something <a href="http://qz.com/44671/hbo-comedy-silicon-valley-is-a-lot-better-than-bravo-reality-show-silicon-valley/">like this</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>"... six programmers are living together in East Palo Alto, each working on software they hope will make them rich, from a system for policing music copyrights to an app that 'gives you the location of a woman with erect nipples.'"</p></blockquote>
<p>It's just about exactly how we'd write it. Only in our telling, the staff of Betabeat gets hired to write the second season.</p>
