LB: So I Joined This Site Called Quora…

Quora-screenshot-005

…And while I don’t entirely understand the place yet, I’m enjoying myself, mainly because I seem to be gaining insight into how other people think.

If you’ve never heard of Quora, the nutshell description is that people become members and members ask questions. About anything. After which these questions are answered by other members. Some of the answers are right. Some are wrong. All, from what I’ve seen so far, are heartfelt. read article

LB: And My Favorite of All the Shows I’ve Worked On Is…

Glad You Asked Department 5/27/13

question_ditkoTime now to once again play Answer Man. Today’s question is on a  topic near and dear to me. Yep, that’s right, it’s about  me. Well, my career anyway. (Which isn’t me, but once upon a time I sure thought it was.)

Sam T. has expressed his curiosity this way:

I saw your IMDB page the other day and was amazed by the size of your output.  Writing credits on fifty different series? Producer on ten? Story editor on ten more? That looks to me like an amazing output. Which of all those shows was your favorite? Which was your least favorite? And I have to ask one more question too. How in the world did you do it? read article

LB: David Gerrold & D.C. Fontana Have a Kickstarter Project

And since they’re both friends of mine (and Dorothy – I mean D.C.) was one of my earliest mentors, all I can say is I can’t wait to sign on.

And guess what? Leonard Nimoy – you remember him, right? Used to be…oh, what was that Vulcan’s name again? – is all gung-ho about this too: read article

LB: “Which science fiction TV show do you wish you could personally reboot?”

That’s the question asked over at io9.Com a few days ago, complete with this photo of one of the worst TV shows ever made:

BuckRogersTVfiasco
Yes, it’s BUCK ROGERS, created & produced by a good friend of mine and taken over & produced by another friend who was actually the godfather of my 2nd son. Still sucked tho.

The question’s gotten a lot if answers, including:

  • BLAKE’S 7
  • THE INVADERS
  • DUNE (mini-series)
  • RIVERWORLD
  • BABYLON 5
  • WONDER WOMAN
  • STAR TREK

I’d like to throw in my two cents because as you all know, I’m that kinda guy. But I’m doing it here instead of the original website because I always get ignored when I comment at io9 and I really, really, really crave attention. (Hey, that’s a showbiz requirement, isn’t it?) read article
