Another Blog to Read

Mark Rothman is one of the best writers of situation comedies and screenplays around. He'll tell you some of his other credits when you read his new blog but I first knew of him when he was a writer and sometimes show runner on The Odd Couple, Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley.

In the seventies when I was a story editor on Welcome Back, Kotter, there was a day when I was up at ABC and a top executive came up to me and started telling me that the opening of last week's episode was kinda slow. It took a few minutes for us to figure out that she had her Marks confused. Despite an utter lack of physical resemblance, she thought I was Rothman and was talking about the previous Tuesday's Happy Days. I said something about how I wished I had his success and/or pay grade.

Anyway, Mark has just launched a weblog. He's a funny guy so it stands to be a funny weblog. Go take a look. And tell him to "Sit on it!"
