Scripts? What Scripts?

I was so excited a few years ago when they started a new Twilight Zone series on UPN. I was totally disillusioned when I saw the pilot episode because the pilot SUCKED! It was a mish-mash of mixed messages and contradictions and the unsatisfying conclusion made me want to wretch!!!

So i sat down and turned the one hour episode into a thirty minute episode and made it better. Sure the damn thing was rough and I didn't know how to write a script, i never did it before, but the story was consistent and it made the weak ass main character into someone to sympathize with. It had a heart that was missing.

So I wrote more scripts each one getting better then the last and then before I could even sell some of the stories, the damn show was canceled.

Ever since I was a kid watching Twilight Zone with my father I always dreamed of writing something like that. Something that makes you feel something, fear and laughter. joy and sadness. Anyone remember Burgess Meredith in "Time Enough At Last" ?

I lost my chance for now. I may post those scripts eventually, or maybe publish them in a book. For now I read them and wish I could have mad Rod smile from heaven that someone down here gets what it was all about in the heaven the earth in the Twilight Zone!
