She Should've Been a Screenwriter...
Well, after having a wierd dream last night, I woke up thinking, "I should be a screenwriter instead." LOL.
I dreamt that I'd come to the very important revelation that what TV most needs is a new show that would be an instant hit and run for years. You know, a new Mash, Cheers, or Friends.
That's when my subconscious came up with the brilliant solution (warning: I'm dating myself here). An updated . . . Nanny and the Professor.
Anyone remember that show? It was on in the late 60's or early 70's, and I think it was part of the line up with the original airings of Brady Bunch and Partridge Family on Friday nights. In my dream, I was going to create a newer hipper version. But, I needed to go to England to find a British woman to play the nanny -- this probably all comes from thinking about Kate yesterday (a fellow writer and wonderful lady, who happens to have that very accent).
So, I went to England, but ended up riding a giant farm cart over rocky hills that were purpley-pink and covered with animals that were a cross between pigs and chickens. After bouncing around on that terrain, unsuccessful in my actress hunt, I woke up and realized that I should've been a screenwriter. Yea. Right. I couldn't even find a good nanny. LOL.
Back to revisions on Part One of my real writing endeavor . . .

Well The Nanny is STILL in reruns, so I'm not sure the Nanny and the Professor will work. *grin* But a new hit show would definitely put money in someone's pocket.
Interesting how warm and fuzzy your dreams are. Reflection of what a great person you are.
Me, I'm the blood and guts type of dreamer. And DON'T tell me what that means about ME! LOL

The Nanny is in reruns! *gasp* I haven't seen it anywhere. I'll have to look! I loved the show when I was a kid (which means I'd probably think it was dumb now). LOL.
You know, usually my dreams aren't warm and fuzzy--they're I'm being chased by a bad guy and my legs won't work dreams. Are you the victim in your blood and guts dreams or the villain? *muwhahaha*
Thanks H & L for stopping by. I'm slow on the revisions this week. Ugh. (But I did get to Coldstone Ice Cream place yesterday, so that makes up for it). :)

I loved Nanny and the Professor. Absolutely loved it. Of course, there was that awful nanny show with Fran Drescher awhile back that sort of imitated it with the Brooklyn/Jersey nanny. Yuck. Your version would be much funnier and classier (g)

Maria, I forgot about the Fran Drescher nanny show. That was similar--well, except for the accents were quite different. LOL! I'm glad I'm not the only one, er, "mature" enough to recall the original. :)
