Okay, so I have two shows that I’m trying to develop. I’m unsure of how to develop them because I don’t know exactly what type of markets (channels) they’re fit for. Could you help me? I need to know what kind of channel it would be viable on so that I can plan episodes in the general and common amount.
One is an hour-long comedy-drama about the staff at a high school. They deal with the struggles of teaching students, relating to colleagues, dealing with school activities, communicating with parents, balancing work with their personal lives, mixing their personal lives and work lives together, secrets, and scandals. I should point out that there was a similar show to this called Boston Public which aired from 2000-2004. It’s no longer being rerun so I don’t know how to make it different from that show and to avoid accidentally plagiarizing it. It seems like because schools are not as popular in pop culture as cop, lawyer, and doctor shows, it’s more difficult to make them different, and easier to be accused of being unoriginal.
The other is about six quirky and eccentric black and Latino teenagers living on the South Side of Chicago dealing with not being accepted by their peers for being odd and dealing with the trials and tribulations of adolescence one day at a time.

So my younger sister likes one direction, shes 12… now I know it is generally acknowledged by anyone not 12 and female that they can be stupid, or at the very least care about stupid things.
Now I’m not out to insult because I love my sister and I was once young and stupid but, I came across a magazine of hers, ( tiger, or something) and the front cover was devoted to one direction, the sub headline read “go undercover with one direction” and the secondary topics were “one direction reveals all” and then a few of the things they might be revealing.
now, aside from the fact that these people seem to “reveal all” about 5 times a day, i started to wonder what could they be revealing, are these the guys that know the secrets to the untamed universe? or Perhaps they know (for a fact) whether the moon landing was a hoax, what could they be revealing?
its gotten to the point where it is hard to exaggerate and joke about these kind of things, because I am not sure i could find much more pointless information for them to share, that would not make headlines, “harry says he likes oxygen” “liam uses a comb for his hair, ‘brushes are a no-no’ he says”
I cant help but think the people writing this know it is a joke, they cant wait to release this magazine to the hoards, the masses, the multitudes of blank consumers, who exist entirely in their cycle
so one direction fans…
I can understand liking them, having crushes, listening to their music etc.
But that stuff in the magazines and all the useless information, like what they had for a snack at 4:23 pm last night.
Is that stuff actually interesting to you, (not specifically that stuff) do you pick up magazines like that actually caring about anything other than their music, and maybe a couple “cute” little things about them, do you care about their personal lives?
and if you do why? why do you want to know that stuff?
do you find the fact that tabloids mass produce these things and specifically target you as a consumer using formulas to control exactly what you will buy into, insulting to your intelligence?
do you feel like the magazine and media companies are laughing at you, while they scientifically and mathematically adjust their business model and product based on “market research” in order to make media more of a commodity?
