02/08/2006: Danger Ahead
Hi. I have received a special request (from friend-of-the-blog Maggie) to talk about what I call "novelty specs." What I’m referring to are specs written for shows not currently on the air. For example, a spec I Love Lucy or Mary Tyler Moore Show or Taxi or Dragnet or Hill Street Blues. The first thing to note, is that these cannot be used to apply for the ABC Writers’ Fellowship. Their rules clearly state that your spec has to be for a show currently on the air. (...)
