The. Best. Showrunner. Ever.
Presiding over what may be the worst show ever. Franklin and bash is simply an embarrassment for all involved.
David I, I know you found your balls up there, but maybe it’s time to get your head out of your arse. Kevin Falls is golden, and Sony is lucky to have him.
Big Dave I, you ignorant and silly man! You clearly haven’t seen the show, my supposed friend. It’s hilarious, suspenseful and worth anyone’s hour. Not only is the writing witty, fast but structurally sound yielding a mini A Few Good Men meets Superbad per week, but the acting and direction emits an obvious chemistry that blends this wonderful writing staff homogeneously with the onstage improv by Mark, Breckin and other players. Pumped for season dos
One of the best – smart, talented and a great guy.
great writer, great guy. plus, he has a third quasi-nipple that can detect gluten fillers in lunch meats, which is fantastic.
Solid investment. Love Franklin & Bash and Sports Night. Kid gets it done.
Kevin Fall’s “journeyman” was a great show on many levels. Thick with subplots and areas to keep peoples interests, too bad the public wants American idol and other mindless pursuits. Sports night was great too.
