PITCH BIBLES PLUS

Ah yes ... forgot to mention two of the most important things any pitch must say:

a. tone -- what kind of a comedy or drama is it? Glamour soap? Dark comedy?

b. template -- what happens every week? E.g. "Every week, our Crime Scene Investigators will uncover the truth about three murders." "Every week, Buffy Summers fights the forces of evil -- and kicks ass."

The template is the most important thing any pitch can have. It sums up the series.
