Members Sylph Posted July 24, 2007 Members Share Posted July 24, 2007 He would be a disaster. He just had one idea and it lasted a season. Then he had to have a bunch of consultants and Will & Grace and Frasier writers to get him back on track. Now all those people signed multimillion-dollar deals and are writing projects for ABC TV.

Members Sylph Posted July 24, 2007 Members Share Posted July 24, 2007 Disaster. Disaster. Baitz is a good writer, but he needs to be supervised, and he doesn't know how to run a show. Which is why Marti and Greg were called in. Greg is a showy, glittery, teen-y, campy type of writer. And I need someone who would follow the footsteps of Lemay and Marland, "playwriting type of writer". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members aMLCproduction Posted July 24, 2007 Members Share Posted July 24, 2007 This is an excellent choice. I'd say give Marc Sweet Cherries a chance to How about steven King to take over Passions or make a new Dark shadows or new show all together. Hell send him to Days. I also thing Danielle Steel would be ideal for AMC or OLTL The people who did Desire on Mynetwork tv should do a daytime show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members aMLCproduction Posted July 24, 2007 Members Share Posted July 24, 2007 I am very shocked and saddened Sylph, why so do you feel this way. What ill do you have of Shonda. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted July 24, 2007 Members Share Posted July 24, 2007 It one of my ongoing projects - writing a long diatribe against Shonda Rhimes. Let's just say (shortly) that I don't like Grey's, find it an unbelievably cliched and saccharine, and I spend my nights thinking why is this show such a hit. But she'll ruin the show quickly, I believe, and everyone else will hate it soon. P. S. Let's not talk about her pedigree and previous writing projects.

Members Sylph Posted July 24, 2007 Members Share Posted July 24, 2007 P. P. S. The only staff writer on Grey's that I admire is Allan Heinberg. And I believe he is the show runner, not Shonda, she's something like übershowrunner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr. Jay S.W. Posted July 24, 2007 Members Share Posted July 24, 2007 Well if you think it is cliched for the reasons I suspect you do, I'll tell you now that you'd be suprised at the things that do go on at the Hospital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Josh Posted August 1, 2007 Members Share Posted August 1, 2007 Honey...I wouldn't write for "Guiding Light" and not have my name displayed! That said even though it is an amazing idea and I think daytime would benefit from it, executives, head writers and EPs think that what they are putting on our screen is what we want to see! Why would they listen to us, I have seriously thought about binding into a folder and sending my blog to David Kriezman, Ellen Wheeler, Barbara Bloom and some stars of Guiding Light. Is it amazingly wonderful? No, but it's good...keeping in mind that I do this as a hobby. At least I understand the characters, the history and the relationships in Springfield!

Members MichaelGL Posted August 1, 2007 Author Members Share Posted August 1, 2007 That is a thousand times more than what I can say about ole Davey and Ellen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members leevo64 Posted August 1, 2007 Members Share Posted August 1, 2007 Ugly Betty's Silvio Horta should be writing AMC. Or OLTL. Ron Carlivati actually just said that Ugly Betty is something he admires as a soap because it combines so many elements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MoTheGreat Posted August 1, 2007 Members Share Posted August 1, 2007 That's what I'm saying who know more about the history of the characters but the viewers. Fans don't have top read up on the show history because we already know the history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted August 1, 2007 Members Share Posted August 1, 2007 Horrible idea. That's the problem - soap writers idolize primetime writers and forget about the masters of yesteryear - Marland, Lemay... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
