Network notes – Columbo…

Studio notes – Back to the Future…

Network notes – various (from the book A Martian Wouldn’t Say That)…

“Please do not sensationalize the dead gopher.”“I think you’re making a mistake having so many French involved in the production of Les Miserables.”“We’re concerned about the uniforms on Star Trek.  They look like the whole crew is wearing Dr. Dentons.”“Considering today’s sensibilities, when you discuss euthanasia, be sure you do so in a positive light”.“I know this is short notice but the network wants to see the script for the pilot very badly and very quickly.“Is there any way you could write the script now and do the research later?”“Although Connie is a sociopath, make sure she’s not without warmth.”“This is the best script of Addams Family we’ve read in a year. Attached are the notes for the rewrite”.“We have run the sequence of the barmaid serving drinks over and over. There is too much cleavage.”“In response to your list of suggested writers for your upcoming pilot; who is Truman Capote?”“Is it possible to improve the caliber of writing without doing a disservice to the show’s popularity and excellent demographics?”“Please change the dialogue on Page 14.  A Martian wouldn’t say that.”
