Want to create your own TV series but don\u2019t have any connections at any of the broadcast or cable networks?\u00a0 No problem \u2013 just create your own blog.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
More and more, producers, studios and networks are looking to the Internet to find fresh, original voices that just happen to have developed their own loyal core audience already.\u00a0 CBS led the way by turning the Twitter postings turned best-selling book $#*! My Dad Says into a series and giving it a prime position on Thursday night right after their smash hit The Big Bang Theory.\u00a0 Now Showtime is developing Boycrazy based on Alexi Wasser\u2019s provocative blog ImBoyCrazy.com, and CBS is developing two more Twitter feed-based comedies for next season: Dear Girls Above Me and Shh\u2026Don\u2019t Tell Steve, while ABC is developing a series based on the blog Awkward Family Photos.<\/p>\n
Make no mistake \u2013 the networks aren\u2019t putting the bloggers in charge.\u00a0 They are pairing them with experienced showrunners and producers.\u00a0 But the networks are recognizing the fact that there is a tremendous reservoir of potential material floating around on the Internet and they intend to tap into it.<\/p>\n
What are they looking for specifically?\u00a0 The same thing they used to look for in standup comics \u2013 an original voice with a strong point of view about the world we live in today.<\/p>\n
So what are you waiting for?\u00a0 Fire up your laptop, start a blog, and start sharing the way you see the world with\u2026well, the world.\u00a0 You may end up creating a TV show in the process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
