We loves us some Mary Tyler Moore and some Herbie J Pilato as well, so we here at TVWriter™ are ready as all get out for what promises to be a great read.
In fact, we’re looking forward to this so much that it’s all we can do to keep from foaming at our mouths. (Mouth? My mouth? His mouth? Her mouth? Damn, why didn’t Miss Grundy teach us anything instead of just messing with us back in the day?
Yeppers, kids, here’s another amazingly helpful video from a genuine showbiz Insider. If anybody knows how stars feel about scripts, it’s Emma Thompson. Watch and learn, gang, watch and learn. (Cuz it’s easier than having read and learn, yeah?)
