CBS. The crown jewel of broadcast television. Does the "C" stand for Chuck? As in...you know who? And CBS; does the world really need four police shows set in Hawaii? I mean, don't get me wrong. I adore Hawaii but enough already. And could we come up with something other than police procedural/investigative shows? You're the network that brought us The Twilight Zone and The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Dallas. Surely you can come up with something that isn't Magnum P.I Joins the FBI with Special Guests the Cast of Every CSI? Surely. CBS, if you're still "The Tiffany Network" you've got some silver to polish. But don't fret; I've got tons of ideas. Come on CBS...Be Best!
So, here's my final application to the Big Three. Remember when TV was just the three networks and maybe a few UHF channels? Good times!

Christopher Reidy is from the Boston area. He attended Boston University where he studied TV and film which eventually led him to Los Angeles. There he did the Hollywood thing (which he wasn’t particularly good at) and eventually met his partner Joseph. He was one of the co-founders of the short lived Off Hollywood Theatre Company which staged several of his original plays. 83 In the Shade is his first novel. He also dabbles in screenplays, toys with short stories, and flirts with poetry. Life brought him to bucolic Southwest Virginia where he now resides and is very active in community theatre. It may interest you to know Chris is officially an Irish citizen as well as an American. He also enjoys drawing and painting and looking after a passel of housecats and two turtles. |
