Take a look at the first ten minutes of Sex Drive, thanks to the miracle of your friend and mine, the Internet. Very funny.

The second part of Contributor Mike McPhaden’s interview with Mark Ellis and Stephanie Morgenstern:
How did you educate yourselves about TV pilot craft and structure?
MORGENSTERN: Well, we’ve got a pretty substantial shelf of books by now: How To Write This, How to Fix That, How to Make Things Better.

A guest point from our good friend Mike McPhaden:
Since Flashpoint burst onto the scene this summer on CTV and CBS, its taut stories and sharp visuals have nabbed impressive ratings and a second season from both broadcasters. The series tells the tales of the fictional SRU, an elite tactical unit trained to deal with […]
I have to jump in on the top ten pilot lists blogging around here, here, here and probably a few other places.

I’ve always loved the Garry Shandling Show and was delighted to find much of it on YouTube (just one more reason to love YouTube). Just in case it gets taken down, we better watch it now. Here is the pilot episode in three parts:
Mike McPhaden’s first post from Montreal:
Comedy is serious business. It can make people rich, famous, and sometimes, even laugh. Which is why some of the comedy world’s most serious funny people are decsending upon Montreal for the first annual Just Comedy Conference.
The two day conference, set smack in the middle of the […]
