At this point I think the Jimmy segments of Better Call Saul are as strong as anything Breaking Bad ever did. The Mike stuff tends to drag it down for me though. But then I generally feel like BB is way overrated, so it's not that hard of a bar to clear.

For what it's worth, there are some elements of Better Call Saul that I legitimately enjoy more than some comparable aspects of Breaking Bad. I feel like Better Call Saul has a somewhat more sympathetic and believable protagonist, still keeping him in a moral gray area better than Breaking Bad did. There are other things, too. The parts of BCS that kind of weigh it down or hold it back are the parts that heavily establish stuff to come in Breaking Bad (as BB is chronologically later)--until, that is, this last season, where you get to enjoy what I thought was a pretty well-done storyline about how Gus got his super lab built under the industrial laundromat place. So maybe there is some promise in those storylines outside of "oh hey, it's those characters I loves from that other show this one originated from!" after all. That's just me, though.

Better Call Saul is better than Breaking Bad on average; the Jimmy/his brother stuff is better than anything on Breaking Bad, and ironically, it's only the Gus/Mike stuff that pretty much *is* Breaking Bad that brings the show down. But it kind of depends on what you watch TV for; it's like how people found Sopranos "boring" when people weren't getting whacked, when the personal stakes were the core of the show.

Agreed. Plus, more Odenkirk is never not great. But even my username is a reference to something he's involved in, so I may be biased.

I'm writing a spec episode of What We Do in the Shadows (to those who don't know, a spec episode is when you write an episode of an already existing show- screenwriters use it to show you can write in another show's voice, and a lot of writing fellowships require specs) and this video helps a lot.

LividLiquid posted:Spec scripts are awesome because it's fan fiction that you're required to write to work in television. I wrote an Angie Tribeca one that was the most fun I had in my entire life. PerilPastry posted:Sounds cool as hell, man. Can you give us a small sample? Right now, still working on the story. The current idea is that Lazslo meets an antique dealer who treats him like a king, so Lazlo gives this guy a tour of the house and tries to convince Nadja to make him their new familiar, unaware the antique dealer has a secret plan. Meanwhile, Nandor wants to learn how to insult like Lazslo and Nadja, so Guillermo takes him to a comedy club. And as a C-plot (a tertiary plot that takes up a few minutes of the whole episode), Colin Robinson joins a historical tour group in a vampire twist on 'that one tour group member who wants to prove he knows more than the tour guide'. stratofarius fucked around with this message at 22:00 on Jun 7, 2019 |

I spent forever trying to figure out if I'd made it up before finally realizing that it was a spec script another TV writer posted in TVIV. I thought it was a real episode for years. He was that good at writing in the voice of the show.

I once read an amazing Brooklyn Nine Nine spec that's one of my favorite episodes of the show too.

I only hope to do a good episode of the show in case Nickelodeon accepts What We Do in the Shadows specs next semester (them and ABC, CBS, etc)- I got a feeling this might be a go-to show, like how GLOW was a go-to show this last year (I think).

That way if your script is good enough for the writing program then you may actually get a script bought. WWDitS is a fox/disney product. I have a American Dad spec script waiting until the July 31st date when they let people know what's what. Wish me luck!

Google "Nickelodeon writing program". It will take you to the right page, but you'll have to wait until January (iirc) to enter. Always keep a look out. Comedy Central did an open cartoon submission pitch last year. I made 2 animatics for it (neither was that funny). I didn't get picked but the NDA won't be lifted until the end of the month. Cartoon Network, NBC, hbo, fx have all had open submissions in the past.
