The much-touted “new season” has arrived with the usual thud. I am a script typist and I want the world to know that the lack of good programming is not due to the lack of good material. There are innovative, imaginative writers doing splendid stories that never sell simply because these writers do not have the contacts with the insiders, and the insiders do not have the fortitude to attempt anything different. So we are deluged each fall with the hype about the “new season,” only to find it’s the same boring detective/doctor/sitcom mindlessness.
