ATTENTION WRITERS - here's how to sell a TV Series if you can understand what this article means.
This article is a very elegant, BRIEF, analysis with bullet points of the formula for THE FLINTSTONES episodes and the effect that formula may have had on a generation at a susceptible age. OK, it comes wrapped in opinion, but if you unwrap it, you'll find what you need to build your own cultural icon.
There are a lot of comments to think about, too. The whole issue of the cause-effect relationship between fiction and "real life" has not been completely defined and described yet. Here's your chance to show-don't-tell what that relationship is to you, and what it means to your generation.
HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT: Create a set of 8 bullet points illustrating the philosophical issues your show tackles in each episode. Note that 7th-minute formula "beat" -- lay out your show's BEATS.
This article discusses the FLINTSTONES that was a TV cartoon -- today's market is for animated webcast cartoons cut into smaller segments. Create one using this breakdown of FLINTSTONES.
