Purrs and head butts for outstanding success Tell more. MLB

Thank-you. I shouldn't tell much more, cuz it's too soon to
release
the details to the public. I'm so sorry and I really wish I could.
All I can say is that it's a one hour family drama and we're looking at
13 episodes per season. The show revolves around a sport, which must
remain unnamed or it would give too much away, and I have a world
champion in that sport, and quite a celebrity already, who wants to
play the lead, which really boosts the value of the show to the
networks.
When I was ready to pitch a show I had a pitching session with a
top
executive for a major network here in Canada, we'll call him Jim, (not
his real name), and he liked the show but said it didn't fit the
audience demographic they were courting. He told me what they wanted
and said I should re-draft the proposal. He gave me the name of the
local executive producer for show development because he was in Toronto
and I live in Ottawa.
I worked the show around but re-jigged like that I didn't see it
working. So I pulled out another idea that had been relegated to the
back shelf of my mind and saw that it fit. I drew up a short proposal,
(they only want one page for these first proposals because they get so
many), and sent it to the contact I was given here in Ottawa. She had
gone on vacation that same day (4 weeks lost). I re-edited the
proposal & made it better. I re-submitted it with a note that it
replace the previous one, which they did. There was some slowness in
getting back to me and when I decided I had waited long enough I called
and left a message on the woman's answering machine. We had never met,
just exchanged emails. I included the line, When you don't call me I
get crazy ideas, like you don't love me anymore... We can talk this
through! We can make this work! I had an email within a few hours and
an appointment the next day. Networks love inventive and creative
people. The pitch was accepted and "kicked upstairs." That's the
hardest part to get through, (the biggest hurdle). Only about one show
in a hundred gets past the pitch. One ofthe good things is that the
person she kicked it upstairs to is Jim. Jim already knows me and we
hit it off well. He knows I have passion for my projects and good
instincts. Also the local exec. prod. is a big fan of the sport and
the world champion is a household name here in Canada. Moreover she
listed 6 or 7 criteria that the network was looking for in a new show
for the time slot in question and my show hit every one of those right
on. It's exactly what they are looking for.
So that's why I say the only way this can fail is if I mess it
up,
even
then, the show is so good it may carry me though, but I won't depend on
that. There is at least one more big plus, because this certain
network has just renewed it's licence to broadcast this sport for
another four years with the sport's national governing body and the
synergy between the sports broadcasts and the drama will boost rating
for both shows. You've heard about win-win situations. This is a
win-win-win-win-win situation! I have never been at the centre of a
project that has come together so perfectly. It's like magic. One
thing now feeds off another. The project was kicked upstairs largely
because I had the star, I suspect. Then the star's interest is boosted
because the project was kicked upstairs. I hardly have to do any work.
I keep waiting for something to go wrong, but even when I look at
it
from the network's point of view, I don't see how they can pass this
up. It just seems unstoppable.

If your near the border, or get Canadian networks on your satelite of
cable. We may try to sell it to American networks, but I suspect we
have a too Canadian theme for them. Sometimes they buy the concept and
create their own version of the show, but it'd be different.

No it's not about Kitties. Hmmm that is unfortunate. There was a show
about kitties on American TV some years ago called "Claws" I think.
Well it was a pilot anyway, but never got picked up by sponsors. It
was three cats living in a house and the audience could tune in on
their thoughts. I really loved the show.
I remember one great line, "They can't kick us out of the dining room!
It's ours. We marked it!"

Yeah, it's so interest in the show doesn't peak too soon and we loose

Oh! I forgot, Sammy. The networks and publishers are now starting to
call TV shows "Content" rather than shows because TV isn't the obly
medium anymore. They come out on DVDs eventually and they are looking
seriously at streaming video for the Internet. Now that would cost
tunas of course, but remember it's all high definition. From now on.
