Writing television is easy! To prove it, we sit down and brainstorm a concept for a new TV show in every episode of Blank Meets Blank. From two random hat drawings we plot a pilot, a first season and even throw in a fantasy cast for good measure. It's a fun, ridiculous writing exercise that will, of course, propel us to Hollywood fame in no time.
Your showrunners-in-training are Jakob Burrows and Jim Scampoli, also known for discussing the best and worst that TV has to offer at showswhatyouknow.com. If you leave a review, don't forget to include something we should throw in either hat!
Music for Blank Meets Blank is by John Bartmann.
