Dear Assorted TV Executives,

I would like to humbly submit for your consideration that Normality Restored could easily be turned into an animated series very cheaply. First off, most animation for US shows is actually done overseas in what some might call “Animation Sweatshops.” Secondly, I think that you will find gilgrim and I are very negotiable in terms of salary. I’d be willing to bet, in fact, that producing our show would be even cheaper then, say, most run of the mill reality shows.

More importantly, though, as the writer’s strike continues we, the american media consumers, are increasingly forced to ingest worse and worse forms of entertainment.

Case in point, the new show from “reality king” Mike Darnell…The Moment of Truth. No doubt this will get huge ratings, it’s due to follow American Idol and people in this country really love seeing others get humiliated on national TV.

In terms of actual quality, though, I’d say that any animated series based on the (admittedly small) comic that gilgrim and I produce would at least equal what’s currently coming out of TV land.

Plus, most animated series are not in the middle of the current writer’s “issues.” With the exception of a few, most animated series writers are not members/not under the rules of the WGA.

A quick aside to any WGA members out there. Don’t bother calling me a scab. First off, I’m not a WGA member. Secondly, I’m not talented enough to actually take a job from any WGA member. Third, I like to get paid, sue me.

Once again, to my merciful TV overlords, please consider Normality Restored. And please bring back Heroes as soon as possible…

Your humble servant,
kilian
