Writers Suck: Difference between revisions

* In the short-lived series ''Action'', the writer of the movie being made is portrayed as a pathetic and wimpy.

* In "Yes, Virginia, There Is A Hercules", one of the ''many'' [[Something Completely Different]] episodes of ''[[Hercules: The Legendary Journeys]]'' based on the idea that Hercules is currently living in modern LA [[Celebrity Paradox|under the name Kevin Sorbo]], the writers were portrayed as twitchy losers who were expected to sleep in the studio. For added [[Self-Deprecation]], they were actually named after the writers of the episode; Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci.

* ''[[The Monkees]]'' once showed Mickey going backstage to ask the writers of the show (portrayed as a group of ancient, bearded asian men) to solve the problem the band was facing. He subsequently throws out the new script, complaining, "We pay those guys too much."

* Averted in ''[[Castle]]''; Richard Castle is charming, charismatic, in control and a pretty cool guy, all things considered.
