Week 2: Generating Ideas for Short -Format Series

Seeing as you all took this class to do some writing, let's do some writing!

Last week I asked everyone to write up five ideas for short-format series (the kind of thing that might show on Channel 101 or 102) — and make them easy to read, please (12 point font, double space). We'll take some time in class on Tuesday to talk about premises and sustainable story/character arcs vs. running gags.

Also, please check out Channel 102's fresh crop of winners (hooray, Defenders of Stan made it up to Episode 12) and losers so we can talk about them on Tuesday.

Sorry about the lateness of this post; I'm a little discombobulated being out of town and without reliable internet access — it's like a crazy parallel universe where there's this thing called a "TV" in my room, but it won't let me check e-mail or do my blog. Somebody get me out of here!
