Once upon a time, TVWriter™ had a frequent contributor who called himself the “Impatient Showrunner,” AKA IS because he was indeed a showrunner and also a notoriously impatient man.
The other day, LB got a call from his good friend IS, and this TVWriter™ minion could hear the Showrunner’s rant all the way from my digs in London.
“What the hell is wrong with everybody?” IS demanded. “I keep getting email after email from total novices with addresses proclaiming their very own ridiculously named production companies? How can they form production companies if they’re still at a point where they’re asking me baby questions about what production companies even do? And people call me impatient?! Egads!”
