Last night I couldn't sleep and ended up being up til about 1:30 - 2am watching tv downstairs.
There was a program on that utterly scared me. At first I thought it was one of those gameshows like Balderdash for celebrities -- there was a roomful of people, most of them on couches, with one or two people standing up telling the rest of the group things, while on the screen they flashed a name of something. I was convinced it was a version of Balderdash, the Movie selection where they give you a movie title and you have to make up what the plot would be about.
Scary thing is -- it was real and these people had written scripts for tv series!! Oh my word what rubbish it all was. These four people, one of which was Sean Hayes (Jack from Will & Grace), had to decide which five scripts out of 12 were going to be doing their pitch to NBC for a chance at having their show be on!
All I can say is that NBC must be really HURTING for shows if it even considers any of the scripts that made it through from last night's program. Oh man...
scary. Just plain scary.
