It's all about the writing, Matty! So is all media (the movies you did recently, et al, for instance), but as a writer, former comedy writer (some might say current....😁), and fan of the classic American sitcom, I'll be all over this one! In fact, inspired by a one-panel comic, this morning, on Notes, I was inspired to come up with this sitcom idea/notion/treatment:
A half-hour comedy/detective series I’d have liked to have seen, say, in the ‘70s:
A bumbling duo of crime-fighting dicks who hash out their strategies and wisecracks on the fairway!
One’s a little caddy. One’s a little catty. But, they’ll work things out on the back nine.
Yes, it’s “Shanks and Dogleg,” this Saturday on NBC! You’re likely to find a hole in one.
Have a funny bit for you. I got excited when I saw this in my substack notifications when I was letting dogs out this morning just after 6am. While I was voting, I was like “100%! No one picked the other one?!” For all of them… they were all kind of tough choices for me except the last one…then I was wondering how many people had voted and looked and it doesn’t say how many votes for each. I sat there dumbfounded about how so far everyone had voted exactly as I had. Then I wondered when it was sent out/published, so I looked at my email and saw it posted 6:02am. It was 6:11am 🤣🤣🤣🤷🏻♀️🙄 So, I was the first person to vote.
Love it, but damn, the most deserving winner, Community, got snubbed from the bracket entirely. Oof
It just missed the cut. Sorry.
Oooh that’s one of my absolute favorites!! I didn’t click on the bracket to see which ones made the 32. That’s a bummer.

Carry on!
"Shanks and Dogleg", I love it.
Oh, it'll be appointment viewing! Just gotta get it to pilot!😁👍
Looking forward to this one. Too bad one of my recent faves The Good Place didn't make the cut but hard to argue with this list provided here.
The Good Place finished just outside the top 32. This was a tough field to put together, for sure.
I have to admit I've only seen an episode or two of Frasier. I have no idea why.
It was a favorite in our house, for sure.
Love these!

Ha! Early bird gets the worm, right?
Fun!
Why do I get the feeling Cosby is suffering for reasons completely unrelated to the show. 😬
