We're driving traffic! Either us or wherever Atom Eyes got the link, if he is not a regular reader of Ken's blog, which he should be because Ken's a great blogger, my 2nd favorite Hollywood-based blogger after Mark Evanier. And Ken has written for M*A*S*H, Cheers, and The Simpsons, Produced, Directed and has a checkered 2nd career in radio where he disc jockeyed in L.A. using the name "Beaver Cleaver", did Major League Play by Play, and has done talk shows without being a right-wing wacko. He also does an annual training camp for would-be TV writers and dispenses realistic advice like in that blog post. If the Business of Show were any more fair, he'd be a Network VP for Comedy and moonlight with a national radio show. But it isn't. Listen to Ken, he knows.
Oh, I'm definitely a regular reader (of both Ken's and Mark's blogs). As for the spike in readership, judging from the comments section, it seems mostly due to the fact that someone named Felicia Day twittered about this post earlier today.
I'm a huge fan of both Ken and Mark -- it's good to see them getting a plug! Also - on Fridays, Ken answers questions from the peanut gallery about, well, just about everything, but mostly shows he's worked on. So, if you've got a Cheers question, or MASH....
