Spike ,'Sleeper'
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
I've been skipping like mad, so this is the first I've seen of the class, but damn would I love to observe that. It sounds like such a smart idea. Le sigh. Not that I have even the teeniest knowledge about screenwriting.

"Bizarre 'dramedy'."
Tim, you've invented a genre!
"Dramedy" is as old at the hills. Or at least as old as "Molly Dodd." And since we were more heavy on the comedy than the drama, I'd rather we were called a "Comma." Oh. Hmmm.
Unfortunately, it was short enough that comma may be apt. No typos though.
I've got the word 'dromedary' running through my head now. Maybe a show about camels is just what tv needs.
You'd guarantee that Aimée would watch...
