I'm trying to write a TV show. Ideally it would be just a reality-TV show, getting the guy who played Eddie Winslow and Kirk Cameron to live in a house. The Jehovah's Witnesses would come to the house a lot or something like that. I kind of like the ...
Hollywood's Studio Era was part of a Golden Age because it didn't need profanity (unlike reality-television today)
