so amazon wants feedback on the dev/consid comedy series, mr. bitter is happy to oblige...

magic monkey…… the best of the lot, by far – always appreciate clever story bits, like rabbit getting his daily news when they change the lining of his cage – and the well-defined rules of the universe – nice work chick writer

100 deaths…… for adult swim crowd – needs work on story and character - one word solution – purgatory – a more logical location for the hero, solves some of the grimier issues with how he got there – think of it as the neutral ground between heaven and hell where humans who aren’t ready for either are employed – uh, you’re welcome

doomsday…… strike one, written by a brit - smiley face - ; strike two, mockumentary - frowns to the camera; strike three, by the time this comes out we’ll either all be dead or the mayan apocalypse will have passed and the concept no longer works – it’d be like releasing a show about prepping for y2k in 200x; so, this series is out – that’s a baseball analogy, for the foreigners reading this - go america

hurd/ zea…… really amazon, two zombie workplace comedies, couldn’t decide which one would make a better funny or die sketch – question mark exclamation point – get clive to rewrite both

behind the…… I stopped reading after the first slug and descrip –
“INT. SHANNON’S APARTMENT - BEDROOM – EARLY MORNING
We are inside Shannon’s bedroom.”
--- on the consider list for concept only – the mini-bible is one page – I believe it starts with ‘this is the mini-bible’

imagination.../ us – these feel similar – both capture ‘youth’ dialogue well enough – us is better written and sharper, but imagination has the fresher main characters - i lumped them together because i’m lazy

missed connections…... a decent premise, but too many ideas – it’s about a coffee shop, no it’s an update to ally mcbeal, uh, it’s a romcom slash procedural but without criminals – just make it about a detective agency that specializes in lost loves and their stalkers, uh, true loves and, move everyone into the office – again, you’re welcome

Y2K in Y2k+ ?
No, doomsday is nothing like that.
Andy day can be proclaimed doomsday (indeed), so 2012 is not necessarily the last doomsday for most people. The premise is phenomenal if only because Americans won't get the real depth of it.

Go America in this case translates "Go neurotic homophobic 20 something student + some 6 exactly the same friends."

Pass.

doomsday, in current incarnation, will not work - period

it's primary hook, the catalyst of 12-21-12, is why anyone is interested in these types of stories - no shelf life if it focuses on doomsday preppers

that's why JJ's new show is about a post-doomsday scenario

and is the only way amazon's doomsday can be salvaged - spend some time on the lead up, sure, then doomsday doesn't happen, now the show focuses on the repercussions

that's a better and more long-lasting hook, and can be played for just as many laughs - or they can go for the dramedy aspect of it, tonally works either way

i'm right

... and go team usa in london

If you're not with the zombies, you're against them.
