It’s humbling to realize you can sum up everything about yourself in only 5 words. But it’s even more humbling to realize those five words are “Alice Cooper’s Muppet Show Episode.”

Arguing that we don't need writing rooms because one writer could write a whole series is like arguing against orchestras because one guy with a Casio keyboard could make all those sounds. What savings!
It's a collaborative art form that deserves to be preserved.

Maybe Ray Winstone as the local antiques dealer, who used to be an underworld fence, but found there's more money in going "legitimate." Although, he can't help it if the occasional stolen item "fell off the back of a truck and into his front window."

Reading anti-WGA comments and I’m genuinely surprised at how many non-industry people think that writing rooms are “committees” and showrunners are forced to change their shows to include the wishes of everyone in the room.

And Ray won't reveal the identity of the buyer of the murderer's antique pistol, until Ian uses his antiquing knowledge to point out all the stolen (and more shockingly) fake furniture in the store until Ray gives it up just to get him away from his high-paying yuppie customers.

Saying “I’m not supporting writers because they only put out remakes and reboots” is like saying “I don’t support the line cooks at Wendy’s because they only put out Wendy’s hamburgers.”
