Want to read my Happy Endings spec?

Since the fun hang-out comedy Happy Endings was canceled last TV season, I figured I'd throw up the spec script I wrote for the show since it's no longer useful in the biz. It's probably not the best spec ever since it's the first I ever completed, but I must say, I'm pretty proud of the Brad/Jane subway story as it makes me giggle and is basically an amalgamation of the best CTA horror stories my friends and I have encountered (it probably shows a little too much that those two characters were my favorites).

So please, feel free to read it. I'd love to hear any thoughts about what you think is good or what could've been better as I'm still developing these skills. As always, if you want to read my other specs (I currently have two pilots), just let me know and I'll share them with you in exchange for feedback.

Here it is, folks: Happy Endings - Cabin Fever

My Latest Work

I review the new shows Awake and GCB  for Time Out Chicago. One of them I really loved, the other was quite infuriating.

Lately, I've been taking comedy writing classes at iO and have uploaded the portfolios I've been working on:

• Late Night Talk Show Portfolio
• Saturday Night Live Portfolio

Catch-Up Time

I'm not going to waste your time making up explanations for why it's been a ridiculous amount of months since I've blogged here. For now, I will just provide you some links to what I've been doing lately and promise to try to return on a more regular basis:

• I covered this year's San Diego Comic-Con at Time Out Chicago's blog. It was super big fun and I am counting the days until next year.
• I sat down and chatted with my new nerd crush Edgar Wright and his latest leading man, Michael Cera to chat about Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. I love this movie to pieces and it breaks my heart that it's lost out at the box office to more derivative fare.
• And, as always, you can check out my daily TV blog posts to see "What's on TV Tonight." I should be doing some coverage of fall's new and upcoming shows.

So yeah, that's what's been up lately. Plus, I'm currently toying with the idea of transferring one of the projects I finished up during ScriptFrenzy into a web series. If that ends up happening, I can pretty much guarantee I'll be here non-stop boring you to tears about it. In order to get to that point, though, I have to finish tweaking the script: baby steps.
