Are TVs allowed in hell?
It’s always great fun to do a cartoon about hell. Here, I drew a really old TV, the black & white ones they probably have down in Hades. The TV is on 24/7 there. And that is a demon, an assistant to the Devil.
Most people know the Hollywood biz as well as those of us who live here, thanks to all the “entertainment” and expose sites, like TMZ, etc. But they don’t always tell you how the sausage was made: the scripts, the producers, the underground deals.
The unsold pilots the devil talks about means no studio bought them to air, although some production studio paid for it, the actors, the shooting, etc.. And…the scripts are probably pretty bad. (I belong to a scriptwriters group, so we laugh at things like that!)
In other words, the shows are either repeats that you’ve seen dozens of times, or unappealing prototypes that no one ordered more of.
This is kind of old, from Wiki:
Each summer, the major American broadcast television networks – including ABC, CBS, The CW, Fox, and NBC – receive about 500 brief elevator pitches each for new shows from writers and producers. That fall, each network requests scripts for about 70 pitches and, the following January, orders about 20 pilot episodes
Here’s how to buy this or any cartoon about Television for powerpoint, textbooks, newsletters, blogs, Chicken Soup books, etc. My TV Cartoons have been published iin a variety of venues. I also review TV shows here.
