So You Want to Make a TV Show- 2nd Period- Class #6
As soon as the bell rang and everyone was seated, Dana said, "Extra credit for anyone who stands up and tells us all the most embarrassing thing they did this weekend."
Once that was over with, she went on, "I'm going to take a little itsy bitsy bit of pity on you guys. Not only am I giving you a bit of a break, but I'm actually going to tell you what it is you're doing in this class. This," she said, patting the room's TV, which had two sportscasters paused on it, "is Sports Night. This is my show. And this is what I'm going to be making you do.
"See, all the stuff you're doing? The research, the errands? That's just the start. By the end of this class, you're going to put together your own show. One or two people will host it, and we're going to put on an actual production with you all doing the work. So when you do these assignments, I want you to be thinking about what you like to do, what you want to avoid, and what you could deal with doing if you don't really care. Today we're going to watch an episode. Really watch it, and see if you can't put yourself up there. Call it escapism."
