That genuinely made me feel sick.

Which one, the fingers in pies or the tongues in crevices?
I could switcheroo them if you like, fingers in crevices and tongues in pies?

Quote: Tim Walker @ September 8 2009, 9:48 AM BSTThen back to the sitcom I took a break from because I couldn't get the characters sorted out in my head properly. A 30-something science teacher is recovering from having his heart very publicly broken and is confronted by a strange person on a bus who gives him the phone number for a rather unusual dating agency...
I must say I like the concept of your sitcom. Unless you're lying for comedy effect? It's difficult to tell.
Cheers. No, I have enough trouble telling the truth for comedy effect. There are a couple of other key details in the premise, but obviously I'm not going to reveal them.

Good luck with it! And to everyone else for that matter!
I didn't finish mine, but here is the premise/plot? I dunno, but this is all I wrote: 
The Adventures of Steven Seagull
Steven Seagull is you average man, with a not so average ability to end up in the wrong situations. But much like his near-namesake, he plans to save the day, but does he succeed? Probably not.
Plot:
Steven is caught up in a robbery and tries to save the day. It turns out the robber is doing it to pay for his lovers sex change operation...
...Who turns out to be the shop keeper, trying to claim on insurance too.
I actually did write a few pages of my other sitcom, but I hated it, I hated it to death.
(Dog GAY afternoon)
Yeah, I'll keep my chin up, folks.
Just a bit depressing as I've got quite a bit of stuff "out there" without hearing anythng back.
On a better note:
I have two sketches I'm going to send of to RFTP. Unless, I have inspiration to write something else.
I've just finished polishing my drama "calling card" script tonight.
There's a stand-up comedian who is looking to buying some gags off me... although I haven't heard from him in days.
And I've contacted the agents of two top comedy stars to see if they'd be interested in playing two of my characters in one of my sitcoms... a plan I have to add more clout when I approach producers and the networks.
Great thread idea. Helps to celebrate success and despair with equal weight. It's also flagged up a lot of people with a lot of exciting things going on - proverbial hats off to you lot.
In answer to the question, I have written a couple of sketches (one mediocre, one worse), cut the balls out of a 28 minute pilot sitcom to make it fit the Sitcom Trials (next time I'll start from scratch), and most promisingly I have had one funny idea. It might only merit one line in a script but it makes me feel worthwhile.
I am also scratching around with half-ideas for Recorded for Training Purposes. Still a few weeks off for that, though.
