How a Pilot Becomes a TV Show | Vanity Fair
Pilot season is the busiest season in the television industry, which puts the fate of thousands in the hands of the broadcast networks. In this era of broadcast, cable, and streaming services, there seems to be an enormous amount of new television shows being produced every year; but in reality, only a small fraction ever make it out of the writers’ room.

Cool 😊
A lot of movies and TV series in the *Black List* are being green lit nowadays.
as someone who would someday want to become an actor, this video was very educational
there are dozens of TV show today, with a small audience, that if it was relesead 15 years ago, would be a huge groundbreaking TV show
the quality and quantity is astounding
I didn’t understand what he was saying but the background music is good.
ooooo xo
See, now this is the content I’m interested in. Where is the reality show or documentary about this? I would love to write scripts and be on a set…or even visit or set…or walk past a set…or hear that a set was in my area. LOL.
"Ron: And it grows, to a powerful, emotional climax when the father has to choose which one of his children will live … and which one … will die.
Executive: Pass. What else you got?
Ron: Well, well, there is this one thing. It’s about a killer robot driving instructor that travels back in time for some reason. Executive: I’m listening.
Ron: Okay, okay, well, you see … this robot, he’s got a heartbreaking decision to make about whether his best friend lives … or dies.
Executive: Eh.
Ron: His best friend’s a talking pie!
Executive: Sold! Howard, you’ve done it again!"
And that’s the quality of your average TV show nowadays.
Thank you for posting this. We actually self-produced a half hour tv pilot already and let me tell ya, it’s so difficult when you’re on the outside trying to break in. We’ve had a few promising meetings but so far nothing has come out of it yet. We’ve submitted to a few film festivals that accept filmed TV Pilots and we’re waiting to see if we got in.
Thanks jules
Yea
The background musics is really distracting
Me: * tryna learn how to make an animated series *
The background music: *Angry instrument noises*
But how does one get into such a position. For me: I helped out the local TV station record Curling games and now I can pitch a show to him whenever.
Cool to know. Thanks.
my favorite part 4:36 when he marketed Hyundai to us🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It also means a bigger majority of the shows are just forgetable af… not to mention the amount of half assed shows going around, especially on Netflix… can’t say anything about the other streaming channels tho
