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.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

One Hot Burrito!

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.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Someone like Nilly? Check Nillytown in the right hand column.

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.

If I remember right, when Jeff Bell got an Executive Producer credit on Angel, he explained that "Executive" means "Not The." I liked that.

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).

If I only had a brain...

Thank you, Kristen, that was wonderful.
