In The TV Development Trenches

"OK people I've got 2 minutes for this meeting. Pitch me what you've got."

"Ummm…workplace comedy!"



"Good. Next?"



"Internet…cats?"



"Yes yes yes. So a workplace comedy with cats. The Office meets Maru. But it needs something else -- a twist."



"Reality TV?"



"Absolutely! People still love reality TV. So it's real cats, working real office jobs. I love it! But what's the angle? What's the competition?"



"Weight loss?"



"Genius. Real cats working in an office and getting eliminated as they try to lose weight. We'll call it 'The Biggest Mouser'."



"But what kind of office job do cats have?"



"Anything! You've got your HR cats, your accounting cats, your sales cats. Listen, I just approve the ideas, you folks figure them out. I've got to get to my next meeting, but I want The Biggest Mouser pilot on my desk next week."



Wear this shirt: if you enjoy explaining



Don't wear this shirt: at your job if you are a cat, or you will rip the shirt-time continuum.



This shirt tells the world: "Just meme, myself, and I"



We call this color: Slate-d for the big screen
