Ace.
I've been learning for a few years now. It's quite hard.
Big?! Are you learning on a massive piano you play with your feet then? THat's cheating.
At 34 my 12 year old is starting to catch up with my (limited) talents - i'm thinking of doing her fingers Baker Boys stylee...that'll teach the cocky little shit.
One day, she'll stumble across this page, see what you've written, and do you in with a sledgehammer to the face.
I bet it does.

I can't believe the amount of jealousy which seems to inform a lot of the comments on this thread.
Some of you should be ashamed of yourselves.
I don't see any comments which you can assume are motivated by jealousy. It's a simple fact that most people, including myself, found it poor. Congratulations to the writer for getting to pilot stage. It was a promising premise which wasn't fulfilled. Whether or not a series would show a dramatic improvement, who knows? (Personally, without a major bout of re-casting, re-styling and improved jokes, I doubt it.)
I'm in agreement with opinion that, whether you're a member or not, on your works ye will be judged. Producers are ruthlessly honest to those of us that write and that is deemed acceptable. I don't think anyone is making it a personal issue, which would be the only reason to take issue.
And if and when I get one of my scripts to pilot stage (and this was a broadcast, not non-broadcast pilot - so no excuses) I will expect it to be judged as to whether or not it is credible and funny. Why would anyone want or expect anything other than members' honest opinion?
I haven't seen this but having read the posts I'm glad I'm not the only person in the world not on facebook!
