a message to Hollywood

[toecutter]

please, please, please, for the love of all that is holy. hire some writers. Hire some writers with original Ideas. Hire me.

I am so sick of these reality shows. Honestly, i don't see the appeal. So i'm asking those of you who do... why do you like them?

 

[Jeremiah the Bullfrog]

Someone else who is sick of them! I cannot abide those shows.

 

[toecutter]

I swear, some big company needs to just hire me to write and act in my own show. it will be top-rated because I could actually come up with creative ideas.

 

[Sharky]

lol. Actually i didn't notice the increase of reality tv shows lately. I noticed now. TV guys need to stop being so uptight and start getting people from anywhere.

The problem isn't writers not being hired, it's a lack of writers. With cable, pay channels, a resurgant Independant film industry and the general thinning of the writing herd, shows might wind up with a couple of decent writers if any in their stable. The rest of the shows wind up with a room full of hacks producing offal.

The days of having a stable of television scriptwriting geniouses producing television for the ages each week is probably gone. What you have to look for are the diamonds amongst the droppings. The last three weeks of Scrubs has proved to me that there are some might fine scriptwriters out there and if they're matched with a winning cast you get an awesome show week after week.

yeah, scrubs is a solid show. I agree, that's why I'm trying to hone my writing skills. maybe one day we'll all be watching my show and laughing critically at it. that would be awesome.
