So this was the last week of season 1. Our new show Sweep Up (renamed by NBC to Dirty Love, which I think is probably an improvement) did quite well.
For the next season Jenny, Candice and I will be working with a guy called Jason. We’re ABC network. I think being a network will be more administrative work, but it will be interesting to see the game from another perspective.
There’s a new rule for season 2 that I’m very excited about: no name recognition. This means you can’t get rights to any celebrities – actors, writers, whatever. You can syndicate shows, but not make new episodes of them. I’m so happy about this. I was getting very bored of the whole game coming down to which celebrities were on board. I was a little surprised to find Film & TV students going for boring show ideas just because of their stars.
