LB: “Forget the metrics…”

by Larry Brody

Two plus years ago on Twitter, I quoted an anonymous Starz executive who announced to one of the classes I was teaching here at TVWriter™ at the time as saying:

“Forget the metrics, just give us the absolutely best scripts you can. Showbiz is about hitting the jackpot, not becoming valedictorian.”

Today I’m proud to announce that very same executive IS STILL THERE.

Could there really be a God after all? (Asking for a friend.)
