Buffy ,'Get It Done'
[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.
If I remember right, when Jeff Bell got an Executive Producer credit on Angel, he explained that "Executive" means "Not The." I liked that.
The PGA offers a lot of definitions and is trying to "combat credit proliferation." Because yeah, a production credit might mean that you paid for it, or it might mean that you're a big star with a good agent, or it might mean that you were actually on-set making decisions about the production.
I think. I wish I could NSYNC this up a little.
I was waiting for that, given the length. Could you Sesame Street it? I have to give an answer to a five year old. I suppose I could let him read your post quickly, before the next round F/C/M starts.
Maybe they wrote the book it's based on, maybe it's based on their life, maybe they're the person who put the deal together...maybe they made a movie years ago that starred Donald Sutherland and will, now and forever, get a piece of the action whenever someone buys a DVD of the TV show that followed.
Kuzui! (I always thought Joss should write an original superhero comic, and that Kuzui! could be the new Shazam!).
I saw an old picture of Donald Sutherland today (with Andy Warhol). At first, I was looking at it from an odd angle, and there was glare on the glass over the photo. I thought I was looking at Kiefer.
Allyson and I often discuss how one might become a Kuzui. Though, truthfully, Fran did more actual work than Dolly Parton did. (I mean, she, at least, directed a movie. Perhaps badly. YDMV.) But the name is funnier to say so she loses.

Kristen's information is solid. The WGA puts out a little booklet called "From freelance to showrunner: writing for episodic TV." It's got all that solid information it. I'd link, but I not know how.
Also, someone not named me needs to do research into the last time Tim made an appearance 'round these here parts.

Someone like Nilly? Check Nillytown in the right hand column.
Lost password.
However, I could be totally misunderstanding, and maybe they don't call people jackasses as much as I think.
or as much as they should. If more producers called more people jackasses to their face, maybe less TV would suck.
If msbelle were a producer she'd call people jackholes.

It was when he got the co-executive producer credit in season 4. He explained co meant not the. He got the credit after being made day to day showrunner, so was actually being a little modest.
Think with writers the producer credit incarnations are what they make of them. Jane Espensen said the only difference in being co-producer (season 4) was that she now sat in on casting sessions characters in her episodes. Whilst Tim did most of the rewrites after being upped to supervising producer (half way through s1).
