Lawrence: There are some shows like Modern Family or American Idol where lightening strikes. Otherwise, you have two options. First, you build word-of-mouth.
THR: And the second?
Lawrence: Keep your loyal fans interested by giving them as much access, content and interaction as possible. That’s what I like as a TV viewer. For me, every show that I’ve felt like, “Wow, they actually care what the fans think” or “they’re actually writing for somebody,” I’m more loyal to. On Scrubs, we gave our fans extra content and access to the cast and writers. And in return, we could count on them to find the show on a network that moved the show about 20 times.

My major problem with the interview of Barb Higgins by Mike McCourt on BT (CityTV Breakfast TV) this morning only starts at the 3:34 mark in the following YouTube clip.
Asking tough questions are ok. But attacking someone NOT in the room, and insulting someone as a “screwup” is inappropriate and unbecoming of a person who calls himself/herself a “journalist” and supposed to be conducting an unbiased “interview”.
It is honourable for Barb to defend her former campaign manager. Have a listen to Barb‘s graceful “push back” (from 3:43 to 4:33) to Mike‘s attacks. To me, the clip also shows how tough Barb can be. This is not “thin skin” but standing up against a bully.
I still remember those lovely sleepless nights when I first discovered 24 on DVDs. To me, the only proper way to watch 24 is to watch all 24 episodes back to back. So during that ~24 hours, I had a few frozen quick meals, instant noodles, and very optional showers.
Good Night, Good Luck, & Thanks to all the casts and crews of 24!
William Shatner to be honoured with Lifetime Achievement Award
Best known as Captain Kirk from the original Star Trek, William Shatner will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2010 Banff World Television Festival. With a career spanning more than 5 decades, Shatner has leveraged his fame to build enduring properties as a director, producer, author, recording artist, screenwriter and spokesperson.
A brand unto himself, Shatner’s next project is the recently announced Sh*t My Dad Says, based on the popular Twitter account that’s infamous for quotes like “A parent’s only as good as their dumbest kid. If one wins a Nobel Prize but the other gets robbed by a hooker, you failed.”
This reporter is excited and look forward to bring you some report when Captain Kirk attend Banff in June.
Since John Adams the TV miniseries was based on John Adams the biography by historian David McCullough, I expect the show gets all of the historical details right. And the producers managed to make it an interesting show to watch. Bravo to them.
