Ever pitch a show to a network?

[JK]

I never thought I'd be soliciting help from a place called "the poop shoot", but I also don't want to come off as some schlub who tries to email a script to Kevin Smith every other week. This seems like a non-threatening way of asking for some advice...

I'm looking for advice on making a pitch to a network- I'm not looking for a contact or a foot in the door- I already have that. I've also got the concept, somewhat of a budget, and a really good idea of how I want production run as far as shooting style, graphics, etc. What I don't have is any idea as to what to expect when I walk in the door and make the actual pitch. I don't want to be walking in there with my d*ck in my hand and only half a clue. What kind of information do I need to have already, do I need to set up production and post on my own, product sponsorships, copyrights, etc, etc.

I would ask around at work, but I'm really trying to keep this quiet for now. Like I said, I don't want to be walking in anywhere with only half a clue. I'd like to give at least somewhat of an impression that I know what I'm doing. And I don't want to be screwed over and wind up turning on the TV some evening, watching my show being done by someone else...

Any help would be hot.

Is that you Monica?

Hey, thanks.

On a side note- this is number 500... I've been coming here since 3/30/03 and I'm just now hitting 500... I'm not sure how I feel...

How do you think I feel?

[JK]

I feel your pain... I'll drink to your low postage if you'll drink to mine.

Some may say it's too early for beer, but I just got off work and it's all that's left in the fridge. And it's not even good beer- it's stuff my old man bought when he helped me move, God bless him. But it's a holiday over here, so the odds of finding a store that's open and not charging a ridiculous price are not good. So I make do. And then I'll pass out and call the relatives...

501... Does that mean I'm a slacker when it comes to the 'shoot or does it prove I have a life outside of the digital domain? Can the two be fused together like some cyber-jack, Johnny Nmumonic existence? Or would my brain melt and my pecker rot off?

Did I mention I'd drink to your low numbers? Man, this stuff is going down easy...
