I always thought a beat sheet ...Wow, this is great. I always thought a beat sheet would have a lot more detail. You can't really get much of a sense of the show or even the story from this (for example, SCENE SIX doesn't really give you an idea of why they would go to a crime scene together, but in the final show it's clear when Kim says: "There must be SOME way we can spent some time together..."). Clearly you had a lot of information stored in your heads as you went to write it.<br /><br />Did you worry that seven scenes might force you to pad things out more than you intended? I only ask because I recently broke down an episode of SILICON VALLEY to discover that both acts have 10-12 scenes. I guess sitcoms really have sped up a LOT!<br /><br /><br />Johnny Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13302545167970532080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-77095774081635911862017-06-08T18:04:50.681-07:002017-06-08T18:04:50.681-07:00Thank you!Thank you!Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02753360146107174303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-60773873729818573802017-06-08T17:41:51.377-07:002017-06-08T17:41:51.377-07:00To be fair, I don't think I've ever read K...To be fair, I don't think I've ever read Ken criticizing James's prior sitcom, "The King of Queens," and if he has, it wasn't anywhere on the level of "2 Broke Girls."VP81955https://www.blogger.com/profile/11792390726196611188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-82722995385971247222017-06-08T12:27:21.527-07:002017-06-08T12:27:21.527-07:00Awkward Friday question:

I heard you mention at the end that your daughter and son-in-law are now writing for KEVIN CAN WAIT. That piece of info totally jumped out at me because I remember you not being Kevin James's nor the show's biggest fan (most notably in your December 12, 2016 blog). In a situation like this, what exactly do you do to show your fatherly support? Do you let your feelings about the material they are about to work on be known? I imagine this is kind of like your child getting engaged to someone you have reservations about, but you still manage to put on a smile anyway. Is that accurate in this instance?<br /><br />Thanks<br /><br />Third Kevinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-14843154195686554172017-06-08T09:32:34.654-07:002017-06-08T09:32:34.654-07:00ah, an annotated outline of the large emotional be...ah, an annotated outline of the large emotional beat in the episode. do all shows use these?
