TV Script Doctor

I've been a TV writer for 15 years on shows such as South Park and That '70s Show. I'd love to help you achieve your dream of becoming a Hollywood writer.

@JohnLeguizamo Mario and Luigi are ITALIAN so maybe Italians should be cast. Just a crazy thought.

@jetblue please help. Trapped at JFK. Your people keep coming up with excuses as to why the plane is delayed. Keep changing location the plane is traveling to. Yes. That’s a fact. And we have been here with little kids since 1:20pm. It’s now almost 6! Help! Total nightmare.

Wondering what to write next... anyone out there who wasn't trapped inside their house for the past 10 months have any interesting stories I can steal?

@TChenkus @PatrickDempsey I have asthma. I use a light surgical mask. Easy breazy. I see a lot of people saying they can’t wear masks for medical reasons and then you scroll down and see pictures of them on Halloween... wait for it .... wearing masks. 🤷🏻‍♀️

.@jvn just saw your @essie announcement. I took my four year old boy to get a mani a few weeks ago and it was crickets at the salon! Ladies did not know what to do. Next time you’re in LA come join us. He wanted rainbow but got black and silver instead.

If you start a story with one character, don't act break and end the story on an entirely different character. You need to commit to telling the story through the POV of the character whose story it is.

[TV Script Doctor @tvscriptdoctor]

When writing a pilot (unless your pilot is actually in the production process by a network or studio + they want it) don't inundate the audience with 25 different characters. Pick 5-7 most essential people and craft stories/relationships around them. You can expand the world ltr

[TV Script Doctor @tvscriptdoctor]

Hiking with my TV showrunner friend. Talking about how to make characters likeable. (something you need for the audience to root for them!) Vulnerability. Give them a relatable vulnerability that the audience can see even if they're not flaunting it to other characters.
