Herbie J Pilato: How “Star Trek: Next Gen” Changed Everything
by Herbie J Pilato
Before Star Trek: The Next Generation debuted in the fall of 1987, episodic TV shows had a beginning, middle and end; story-arcs over several episodes didn’t exist (beyond the daytime and primetime soaps), and “character development” was a periodic thing.
For the most part, there was only episodic TV shows, and there really was no such thing as a “procedural.”
What happened in that one-hour dramatic episode of yore (or even that half-hour episode comedic episode) stayed there, and did not continue on into any future episode, segment or storyline.
Herbie J Pilato: The best thing you can do for your career is to live your life.
by Herbie J Pilato
Attachment to anything is never a good thing.
One of my favorite quotes to this regard is from the genius spirit of Confucius who has said, “Lose expectation; gain everything.”
And this may be applied to every aspect of life…and career and how, for a writer, both intertwine moreso than for other professionals (or for anyone at any level of employment).
Herbie J Pilato: Why Johnny Carson was the best “Tonight Show” host
by Herbie J Pilato
As a page for NBC in Burbank from May 1984 to December 1985, I worked on several shows that became classics, including The Golden Girls, Family Ties, and more.
No show was more exciting to be involved with – sometimes on a daily basis, than The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson.
Mr. Carson has been called the “King of Late Night TV” – and there’s a reason for that.
