I Wanna Be a Producer

It's nice to know that there are other TV geeks out there and that I am not alone. Last night I went to an event for the New York Television Festival. It was a producers panel sponsored by TV Land.

Participants included:
* Diane English, creator of Murphy Brown and one of my television heroes.
* Phil Rosenthal, executive producer of Everybody Loves Raymond
* Mike Scully, producer for the Simpsons
Among others.

It was a great conversation about the state of sitcoms and how to compromise with the networks. I was also awed being in the same room with these amazing television minds, who created smart, memorable television. They are inspirations.

Quote of the Day:
"A conversation is a dialogue, not a monologue. That's why there are so few good conversations: due to scarcity, two intelligent talkers seldom meet." --Truman Capote
