Nearly halfway through and so far there's a surprising amount of scripts with small child murder in them... I ain't no snow flake, but we all good ladies and gents??? Does anyone need a virtual internet hug?? I reckon I do

Quoted from PrussianMosby Hey, Just got one idea that may help some of us getting familar with the shows they don't know. I myself want to look into , or possibly even watch one episode fully, of the shows that I don't know. So, while researching in the next days when reading, I could post the respective youtube address of each show that I find content of here -- or better even into a new thread determined only for "watching". I even would send an embedded version that you can literally watch straightaway. Hope this makes snese

Don and Dan have a link to an episode or trailer for each of the shows here:

That's a cake walk around here, giving most OWCs.  

I simply followed the directions in my submission which included my name and board user name, then received an email saying it should've been anonymous.  Oh well.

That is what you’re supposed to do. You must have had your name inside the document somewhere (perhaps right after the word “by” on the title page?).

Some people have their email on the title page which tells us who they are.

DOH!  slap my forehead

I put my name on title page

Quoted from ericdickson DOH!  slap my forehead I put my name on title page

Eric,

I probably should have be been more explicit in my email...  I also note that in the discussion release, there was no mention of anonymity. Tho there is mention in the actual submission.

So, some of this is on me, dawg.

I've read 10 now and 5 have kiddie slaughter in them... 50 flipping percent!!! And Happy Days was about two scenes away from it I swear, don't mess with the Fonzzzz

Kill your darlings...

Haven't reasd the Happy Days yet, but I'll get to it. Seeing how the trend in the OWCs are going, I expect Fonz to kill baby sharks after jumping them  

Wow. Somehow, I'm already halfway done. I still have A LOT of shows to get re/acquainted with. I thought I'd watch the half-hour shows first so I could get this done faster.

So far, I have liked all but two entries. And of all the shows I've sampled, the only one I didn't like was The Lone Ranger. Too slow, too boring. In serious need of a reboot. Too bad that reboot didn't deliver and, imo, was equally as boring as the 1949 pilot.

But overall, pretty good selection this month.
