"Based on what I see on TV I have to believe that the Rolodex counts for far more than the writing skill because there's a ton of crap getting produced."
Like, for example, "Reality Binge" or "Celebrity Drive-By"? Which happen to be the author's two shows (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1941257/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1941257/).
- jamesbritt 16y agoNot only haven't I seen those shows, I've never even heard of them before. Based on the titles, though, I would hazard a guess that they would trigger my Crap-o-meter. But as another poster pointed out, "crap" depends on your goals. If eyeballs and ad revenue are the metric, maybe these shows are models of quality. Discussions on "How to be Successful in $INDUSTRY" really need to clarify the meaning of "successful." For some, the prospect of selling scripts so long as they are in the realm of low double-digit-IQ appeal may not be considered a win, while others might see that as hitting pay dirt. Either way, you should know before following someone's career advice where it will lead.
