Yes, a dream and a theme can create cream!

The Jamie Foxx show was one of my favorite shows. Garcelle Beauvais was the perfect fit!

Thank you for the this. Definitly some gems in here

Lynn Whitfield is Queen! She epitomized the saying "Hell hath no fury like a scorned woman". This is one of the best black films in history! It was the golden era of Black Entertainment!

I loved the Jamie Foxx show! Seemed liked a cool world to play in. This was a breakout role for Garcelle Beauvais. Kudos to you all for taking the risk on her comedy skills! And who doesn't love Jamie Foxx! He does it all!

Thankful for this gem, but does this also apply to nonunion? My writing partner and I were contracted to write the pilot for a true crime show, and the producer was adamant about his name being the sole name under "created by" credit.

loved hearing the backstory of how this classic came to life i almost closed my eyes and felt like i was there 🔥 thank you for sharing!

What a great example of perseverance-I love it! I'm glad you all had a woman writer come in to provide a woman's side of the story! Even though a man can tell how they toy with women's emotions. lol

Wow a lot of jewels to take home in this one!!!!💎💎💎💎💎

Nice 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

Thank you for sharing this story brother. Added fuel to my fire

Excellent Bent Dawg! Taking me back with this series! Proud of you! And thank you for the love, fam! 🙏🏾

Great info, BKE! I used watch the taping of “TJFS” all the time while working at Warner Brothers. In the future could you speak on the Created By,credit , on Martin. One day I met a producer on the Universal Studios Lot who said he was developing a show, that show turned out to be “Martin”, his name was Topper Carew. When the show came out, he was deleted from the credits. @MaxxJerome

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Thank you for sharing

Great listen 🙌🏾🙌🏾

Get it B! Truly 🐐🐐

What if I write a detailed outline for the series. I can’t have someone else write the pilot & still get created by credit?

Great reminder to focus on flaws

Can you talk about the ways you build and/or cultivate relationships I.e standing meetings, golf etc?

The entertainment industry doesn’t have an overhead HR department so this was a really good insight on the do’s and don’ts for the writers room. Thank you for sharing.

Wow! What amazing stories! Sounds like some of these writers don’t have home training!😂 Thanks for this Bentley!🙏🏽

Great insigths!

😂😂😂😂 Is the parrot story connected to the stuffed dog on the New Jack City episode?

I totally believe in building relationships with those whom you would like to work with

I am loving these stories. Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy schedule to share with us. Looking forward to next Wednesday.

Excellent! You captured the essence and many of the nuances in (our) writer’s room. Accurate…even down to the last story! 😂😂

Great listen 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Very insightful. I would love to turn this segment into a show called "The Writer's Room." We should talk about it sometime. Thank you for sharing 🙏🥂

This is great stuff Bent!

Great insight from a legend in the game 👑

This is great advice and something that fits into something I'm working on at the moment. Even though I'm in production for a show/program for Caribbean Men, I do think it's good to know where and to whom the credit should go if I decide to venture into script writing. Awesome advice.👍🏾

Appreciate what you’re doing. TH-cam is the future.

Very valuable information. I just soak it up like a sponge

This was awesome! Relationships is key! Richard Lawson pushes this in his classes @RLS(Richard Lawson’s Studios).

Thank you for sharing Bentley!
