Woman Allowed to Write Television Scripts
In a brave experiment, Molly McAleer, a biological woman who lives in Los Angeles, has been hired by showrunner Michael Patrick King for CBS' "Two Broke Girls," which was picked up by the network in mid-May, and will allegedly air between "How I Met Your Mother" and "Two and a Half Men."
The repercussions of having a woman writing TV are unknown but we expect the very worst.
Oh! This is happy news indeed. I haven't been so excited about a TV hire since Rachel Sweet got picked to write a Dharma and Greg.
Repercussions? Expect a ripping bedbug script.
Maybe Roseanne Barr with send a gift basket of firearms and tranquilizers.*
*I mean this in the nicest, most necessary way.
But what will this mean for my favorite ladyblog HelloGiggles?
Studios know dames only produce pablum about poor body image/cellulite/middleschmertz/OMG why are guys like that/shoe shopping so I am eagerly awaiting the pilot.
@scroll_lock: "So this will be a sitcom about periods?"
@deepomega – Maxi-mum laffs!
She knows that the writer is the one who works off-screen, right?
But can she pee in a jar?
Okay I'm doing this:
HOW DO YOU PRONOUNCE THE NAME OF THE AUTHOR OF THIS POST?!?!?
FIRST NAME:
DOES IT SOUND LIKE "CHOIR"??? AS IN CHURCH CHOIR???
OR DOES IT RHYME WITH "GWAR"???
IS IT LIKE "QUA-RAY"??? "SHWAH-RAY"??? "CHOY-REE"???
LAST NAME:
I ASSUME IT'S LIKE "SEA-shuh," OR "SEA-chuh" BUT MAYBE IT'S LIKE "SASHAY"???
Help me out with this.

@anonymass It's "Whore Sea"
@anonymass
More important than the actual sounds are the tonalities. You have to really use your upper register.
@anonymass It's pronounced 80's teen actor lost boy who OD'd + late 70's early 80's port star.
@anonymass I learned how to pronounce Choire's name years ago when I started reading his stuff on Gawker, and I'm still waiting for an opportunity to do so.
Half of the Community writing staff last year was female and I consider that one of, if not the, funniest thing on television. I believe the repercussions known and hysterical.
@Neopythia Yes, but we don't know the repercussions of a woman writing a CBS show. Can she pander hard enough? Concerned parties want to know.
i may or may not have an internet crush on this lady that began with those videos of her all wine drunk on defamer.
oh god wall to wall masengill ads
