It’s pitch season again, and I’m out and about with four pitches this year. A couple of them are looking really strong already, and getting a bit of industry buzz. Fingers crossed.

“Happiness” (working title): One hour dramedy, a Willy Wonka meets Dallas in the tone of Thank You For Smoking. The unstoppable Bruce Eric Kaplan is writing, and Peter Horton is my fellow non-writing EP. Corporate drama/comedy that explores all we do to pursue happiness, and how that’s almost always at the cost of someone else’s misery.

“Hip Hop Nation” (working title): One hour cable-focused drama. Sopranos in the world of Hip-Hop. Tells the story of the birth of the art form through the stories of three fictional “families” from across the US. Set simultaneously in three time frames. Joy Kecken is writing.

“Generation Gap”: Reality competition series that expolores the lighter side of parent-child generational issues in a fun, and frothy ongoing competition. PB&J TV is producing. We’ve pitched NBC, CBS and CW in the past week.  Waiting to hear from all of them.

“What a Girl Wants”: My friend Sudhir gave me this idea all the way from India. It’s a branded-entertainment version of the movie “What Women Want”, except in a reality dating show format. (Don’t ask.) Still interviewing production houses to see where it best fits.

I’ll keep you posted on pitch developments.
