- Wholeheartedly agree with Clive Bradley's review.(No surprise there!) Particularly, the bit about Riley earning her shot more. I hope this world was created in your imagination and not based on real experience (there's a scary thought!)? The concept and indeed Riley, kinda reminds me of "Ugly Betty" but set in TV land rather than the fashion world (No bad thing!) Overall, an entertaining, funny read. Well done!

- Great pilot! Moved fast. Likable (or not) strong characters. I could "see" it as I read it. The timing was good and the jokes "snapped". One little "picky-picky": Jokes should never be in the Directions-- only in the character's dialogues. If the script makes it to screen-- all jokes are lost! [Please see my "Life's A Beach!" pilot. Directions are kept "dry" and humorless.] :-D But I stand by my first opinion: Great pilot! Hope you sell it!!! [LOVED the "So you're black, when can you start?" bits. VERY funny.]

- Haha! Great story, nice and fast. Was an easy read and i really thought i was jame packed with good, funny lines. I heard Liz meon for the most part of the script, which i hope you take as a compliment. JUSTIN! MACHINE! BAD! FIRE! MAYBE :):):) Loved it. Also appritiated the restraint you showed with the flashbacks, you didn't milk it which is a thing i have seen loads of people do. Great story, should be made!!!
