How To Develop A TV Show In Less Than An Hour

Thank you.

These two men, these, fighting men… love and care about eachother. It took me a a few watches to think about it. Originally their bickering rubbed me wrong but it’s so obvious they’d do anything for each in the end. Its nice

These guys know their stuff!

👍 👍

Great interview, as always ! Thank Karen for what you are doing for us ! <3

Is this info still valid after 5 years?

I like their interaction 😂😂😂 are they friends? Imagine being taught by these two in class? I’m a burgeoning screenwriter and I have been learning a lot from this channel. Thank youu for all the work you do❤

😅 did he just use my country as the home of the "blind orphan"?

Did she pitch "Two and a Half Men"?

Good insight. Thank you.

So helpful...thanks.

what if the wealthy brother promised his dad on his death bed to look out for his kid brother. the dad made the kids work hard and one was a burn out the other exceled. the foundation is a drug rehab made for the one brother for him to have a job and propose but he never asked his brother what he wanted to do, he gave him something only he wanted not something his brother wanted. at the end of the show they shift to the brothers secret dream of marine biology research

Hi I'm pitching a show that's easy as hell,and offshoot of the present show "farmer wants a wife". Cassidy Jo is gorgeous, funny, outgoing and Lil aggressive. Sadly Alan is too laid back for her. I'd like to see her like Bachelorette with 10 city guys and 10 country guys all trying to win her love. City guys would take her on dates 3 in New York, 3 in philly(LAs weather isn't great right now) and 3 in Atlanta. Then the 9 country guys would to 3 In nashville, 3in Austin and 3 in Charlotte then Break it down to the top 2 final dates and then the winner. It would be GREAT!

Thanks! Great education listening in on a series development

With hindsight, some of the nuggets here literally saved my career

What is the name of show they are talking about?

the classic dynamic of the two old pros who cant stand to listen to eachother wax on because theyve heard eachother say everything they say. people like that get so easily annoyed and analytical, they get themselves into a place where nothings ever original, everythings an eye roller, and anything that is good is still just meh. because of the competitive pretentious nature of the industry of writing any form of copy and how all the people in it have learned to interact best, remaining alphas of their craft. theyve completely lost the spark they had in early hungry years, where things were amazing and new, now that theyve experienced all of that world and have no where else to grow. theres so much more of life to enjoy and take from and make more with but these guys have gobbled up everything in the rook and now just stay in the room comparing everything to everything in the room. get out of the room that is your hardened judgemental spirit, enter places where you start a novice rather than stay begrudgingly in places you have nothing new to see in.

the thumbnail is what ive always wanted to sit in on

Good technique and strategy

Thank you gentlemen

Great interview

my premise is based on Kanto From Pokemon closer related to the games than detective pikachu

stoyrtellers in a jam session...very very insightful...

Loved these two and how they interact. I'm inspired and scared to death to pitch. But I'm almost ready! I need to find a licensed agent. Suggestions, anyone? Thank you! Nina

This was incredible. I'd LOVE to see more interviews where you just do this same thing with other professionals like this.

It’s BUDDHIST, not “Taoist”…

👁️💚💧🎬💉🧬🦋

loved this. So informative.

Very useful information! Thank you! I have been developing a show for three years and it is nice to see that I have been on the right track...for the most part. A couple of networks were interested, but pulled out for different reasons. It's a solid premise, I shot a professional sizzle reel, and the pilot is solid, although I keep tweaking it.

And, I agree - comedy is MUCH tougher to write than drama, but it is also very rewarding when you nail that moment!

Only took 20 minutes for Trump Derangement Syndrome to kick in. Can't imagine hating a human being as much as Hollywood hate s him. It's sad.

Damn i love the guy on the right

they’re dynamic together is always the best haha and they’re mad good at teaching with their knowledge and wisdom, as well as pairing their differing perspectives in a strange chaotic harmony. cussin great stuff.

and you, Karen, are always a delight and bring so much value to each interview, beyond the right questions you ask, which really helps us listeners. always glad when it’s an interview you are an active participant in.

seeing just how quickly collaboration can evolve and refine and better an idea is very helpful for getting out of the solely solitary writing mode.

thank you all!

This may be my favorite Film Courage video. I feel like I was invited into an actual writers room.

One of the best.....

My takeaway would be 'You need to be open for collaboration'. Great video

This was extremely valuable - and entertaining. I learned something.

this was such a great video hahaha

this interview is gold

first i will watch this 46 min long video, then i'll use the next 14 min

I have a great idea for a show. A man gets in a wreck with a man who has no insurance. The man is bequeathed to become the man’s butler.

not gonna lie i totally got hooked by the title

WRITE HOW TO GET A JOB ON A SHOW!!

I love that she’s legit pitching her script 🤣

I wish y’all made videos like this again

I like the show she pitched. Reminds me of Dharma and Greg (hopefully a bit more subtle).

lol, the interview ends with "I was afraid to look at you" and that caught me off guards

Great job. Thank you.
