OMG! Hilarious! Some of these are priceless! Think I’ll post them in Church! Love it! Fortunately, our Priest has a very good sense of humor.

Larry,

Holy cow! I can’t remember the last time I laughed that much at a blog post. Thank you for sharing that. I try and have all my posts proofread, make sure I read them out loud before posting, and then maybe convince someone to edit if they have time. Good lessons

Larry,

Thank you so much. I cannot remember when I laughed so hard. You should have this more often.

@Sandra — your contribution should definately be on the list. Glad it made you laugh.

@Monica — episodic television has a similar but slightly different structure, all of it tied to the timing of commercial breaks. The equivalent of the First Plot Point occurs right before the first major commercial break, and everything prior to that is the Part 1 set up. Notice how there will be a twist or new info right before each commercial break… no accident there.

Thanks to all for commenting today, it’s good to laugh together. L.

Thanks for the chuckle, Larry. Never a bad time for a laugh.

Quick question: Do you think TV episodes can be broken down into your 4-part structure like movies can be? Or does the fact that they are ongoing – and therefore already have some info already laid out – allow them to skip some parts? I’m thinking maybe they might start right at the First Plot Point. But I’ve never actually tried to break down an episode.

Just wondering…
