I have a show that I have been working on since I was 13 years old . It has everything that this video expects and a whole lot more. It is original , complex, and filled with shocking moments. I have designed it for years to be the best original television show of all time. I know it is a big claim but I know for a fact that it will be.

[@srksharma8199]

Cool but you gotta make it as good as you write it.

[@thabangmakgalemele8730]

All the best. Please act on it and pitch it so that the world can enjoy your gift.

[@espo3839]

Have you pitched it yet? You should

[@microbudgeter]

@Joshua Yousef You are welcome :D

I couldn't agree more. I'll watch a show with a terrible plot if I love the characters. and I'll turn off a show with a fantastic plot if I can't get into the characters.

[@namorthesubmariner1049]

Seems about right

[@trentonhamilton645]

I do have an ideal pitch that's been right up my alley (No Title) (No Character Names) (and No Setting): It's a coming of age synopsis about a group of fighters who are competing in a no holds bar tournament for a variety of different reasons, but the sole purpose behind the festivity is not exactly what they thought it seemed. ❓❓❓❓

I've written a pilot for TV waiting to pitch is the opposite of the Seinfeld show, his show is about nothing my show is about everything.
