We wrote the script, we did a six-minute presentation, and then it died. Fox wanted a sitcom with an 'A story' and a 'B story,' and there were just very rigid creative rules that work on some shows and don't work on others.
It astounds me that good, responsible white people paid for this show.
they're not really thrilled about it, but I keep trying to push them.
Late to bed and late to wake will keep you long on money and short on mistakes.
I figure it will either be a big hit or a massive flop; there is no room for in between,
I wonder what it means when your grandson is more crotchety than you are.
