I know right? That's what made the whole thing even sillier. Thanks for reading!

Anytime! This ia a show geared toward our generation to be shared with a new generation. I love the writing in the sample.

I agree. It's loaded with subtext and very funny without being too cartoony.

Yes, the analysis is great and it is a fantastic and entertaining idea to explain something serious in such a playful way which will always reach the creative souls. What do we learn? Maybe indeed create a pitch of 3 acts and perhaps be more playful ourselves in such a serious business situation - the challenge and art of a great pitch then will be not to become ridiculous, but deliver great entertainment in addition to our screenplays. :)

It worked. I have seen the commercials for this show and thought I would never watch it. Great pitch. I am in. : ) Now I will apply this to my work. Thank you for the article.
