munchman: Welcome to munchman Weekend

SpringBreak_PostCard-600x310by munchman

There’s been some talk around the halls of TVWriter™ that ye olde munchy one hasn’t been carrying his share of the editorial load here. Being that as sensitive and insightful as I am I’m not immune to the sting of unjustified criticism, I’ve prevailed upon our Beloved Leader LB to be allowed to take over and completely run the site this weekend.

And so, beginning with this post, that’s just what I’m doing!

Welcome to TVWriting munchman™, motherfuckers! read article

Love & Money Dept – TV Writing Deals for 4/3/14

Latest News About Writers Who Are Doing Better Than We Are=&0=& (LAYER CAKE ?WTF?) is adapting Wilbur Smith’s novel Birds of Prey into a series scheduled for the UK. (So we know it has to be good. After all…it’s going to be British. Woo hoo!) David Benioff & Dan Weiss (GAME OF THRONES) have signed on for two more seasons on the show. (Which is great news cuz munch me would much rather hang with those guys than with THRONES creator George R.R. Martin. Can you imagine GRRM as your wingman? Didn’t think so.) Carol Leifer (SEINFELD) has a memoir – Lessons from a Life in Comedy – coming out April 8th. (The way we hear it, said tome is loaded with life and showbiz lessons. Which should be interesting since the two have absolutely nothing to do with one another. Wait, was that mean? As mean as what I said about His Wonderfulness, George Martin? Cool! Thanks!)

Love & Money Dept – TV Writing Deals for 4/1/14

Latest News About Writers Who Are Doing Better Than We Are=&0=& (upcoming FRIENDS WITH BETTER LIVES) has a new overall deal with ABC Studios. (Cuz his previous shows, DON’T TRUST THE B— IN APARTMENT 23 and TRAFFIC LIGHT (?!) were such big hits, your little muncher supposes.) Julie Plec (THE VAMPIRE DIARIES) has a new overall deal with Warner Bros. TV. (Cuz she’s got a bunch of shows on the air, don’tcha know? And that, justifiably, makes Julie hot, hot, hot!) Jennie Snyder Urman (EMILY OWENS, MD) has extended her deal at CBS TV Studios. (Woo! Talk about big hits. EMILY OWNS is right up there with – wait, don’t tell me – DON’T TRUST THE BITCH. How can you not love a business that rewards failure as well as TV does?)

Love & Money Dept – TV Writing Deals for 3/28/14

Latest News About Writers Who Are Doing Better Than We Are=&0=& is adapting Full Circle, the book she and Gloria Killian co-write about Gloria’s struggle to get through law school while serving time for a wrongful murder conviction into a series pilot for Entertainment One. (Except that the series will be called INSIDE OUT and there’s no network deal yet so this announcement isn’t much different than you or I saying, “Hey, I’m writing a pilot!” Definitely a lesson to be learned here.) Erik Sommers (HAPPY ENDINGS) is an overall deal with Sony TV. (Cuz CBS is high on his pilot, CUZ-BROS…for reasons that the titles sure as #@$! doesn’t make clear.) Hilary Winston (BAD TEACHER) also has a new deal with Sony and is officially hot, hot, hot. (Just ask her agents at UTA. In fact, Hilary is so hot that she’s also a contributing editor to “Playboy Magazine.” I know, I know, “Playboy” is so cold and outdated that only a few of you will have any inkling why I’ve even mentioned it. To you others I say, think interweb porn only…really, really boring.)
