NBC has been doing live episodes of their sitcom "Undateable," but their scripts need A LOT of work. Talk shows used to be live, and simple one-on-one interview shows... but now those seem destined to the world of podcasting or live-streaming like Kevin Pollak's Chat Show. You fans of musicals can have your event productions, but I wish it would pave the way for more live scripted dramatic series... why not live versions of something like The Twilight Zone or Outer Limits? I just wish being live wasn't such an oddity. There is something fun about the theatrical constraints of a production that must occur in that moment... it needn't be unique. -- Kevin M.
