I am a Midwestern television fanatic working as a producer in Los Angeles.

My newest gig has me working in between two Hollywood studios. I’m not complaining!

This name was written on the bench that I sat on during a hike this morning. (Chewbacca’s name was nowhere to be found.)

Good Wife

I just spent two weeks in St. Louis visiting family. Unfortunately, I came down with some sort of cold or allergies 4 days into the trip (don’t worry, I’m better now and currently searching for my next TV gig), so I spent a lot of time alone in my childhood bedroom. Nearly all of the time when I wasn’t blowing my nose was spent watching the entire series of the CBS show The Good Wife from start to finish. I know I’m late to the party, but from the small attention to detail to the larger character transformations over the 2.5 seasons of the show so far, it’s truly one of the best shows on television, and certainly the best scripted show on network television.

Went to Paramount Ranch today.  Shows like Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman and Gunsmoke shot there along with dozens of features. I’ve known about it for years and always hoped I’d work on a show that shoots there. Since I haven’t (yet), I finally headed there this afternoon for a hike and a little look-see.
