Like our Beloved Leader, LB, I’m smitten by Netflix’s BOJACK HORSEMAN series, which has just been picked up for a third season of heavy truth-telling, inventive visual puns, tragedy, and even a little humor.
Wait. Truth to tell, the show is funny as hell if you’re the kinda person who enjoys seeing other people’s deepest, most hidden fears come roaring to the surface to confront well-placed banana peels that you yourself aren’t tripping on.
THE GOOD:
The book is called “And Another Thing” and it’s all about every TV writer’s least favorite part of the job, whether you’re working in scripted or unscripted television – NOTES.
Here’s LB buddy Troy DeVolld’s description of what he’s up to, in his very own words and everything:
Just wanted to let readers…know that AND ANOTHER THING, my e-book on the television notes process, is finally available at Amazon.com.
If you’re just reaching the neighborhood of being 30 years old, chances are that there was a time in your life when you watched the hell out of POWER RANGERS while your mother shook her head sadly and muttered something like, “Such a terrible waste of time….”
Well, we’re here to tell you that it wasn’t a waste of time at all. It was awesome prep for your future. (Whaddaya think of that, Ma? Oops, no, I didn’t say anything. Nope, not me. This guy, OTOH:
by Eric RavenscraftKids shows are pretty cheesy. Power Rangers, doubly so. The idea of learning real, adult life lessons from the shows we loved as kids sounds silly, but sometimes things stick with you. Here’s what the Power Rangers taught me that actually stuck around. Seriously.
Blame? Fuck “blame.” This TVWriter™ minion thinks streaming video deserves the credit:
by Chris MorranEven though many of us have hundreds of channels to choose from on cable or satellite, we’re choosing to watch less live TV. But it’s not just because we’ve all decided to go outside and take up steeplechase; it has a little something to do with the availability of subscription streaming services.
The Wall Street Journal reports on a recent talk held by the Cabletelevision Advertising Bureau in which the trade group tried to assign blame for the drop-off in TV viewership over the last two years.
Yer ever-lovin’ not-so-blue-eyed munchero here after a bit of an absence cuz our Beloved Leader LB cancelled the “Love & Money Dept,” my beloved series of posts about TV pilot writing deals.
Well, beloved by me anyway, even though it was, for reasons I just can’t wrap my ambidextrous tongue around, the least-read feature of TVWriter™ for the last 2 1/2 years.
But now I’m hoping for a comeback, this time as TVWriter™’s Weekend Editor. In case you’ve been wondering about the tone of yesterday’s posts here, this weekend is my try-out, so keep clicking, peeps. Build up those views. Get your friends to click too, so I can get me a mess o’Unique Visitors and show Larry B that I may not have anything to say nor be very good at not saying it, but the interwebs lurve, lurve, lurve me nevertheless–
