Particularly Interested In

At the moment I'm particularly interested in serialized comedies (like THE BEAR), comedies with big characters (like ALWAYS SUNNY), and one hour dramas with a bit of comedy (like SIX FEET UNDER or my all time favorite BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER) in them. I'm also interested in pilots that feel like they could have worked in the prime of original programming on basic cable (something you might have watched on USA, FX or TNT). And I'm always looking for action comedy.

I love high concept projects, but I do try to steer away from anything that would be physically very hard to produce...
