Remember Tales From the Darkside? Or Tales From the Crypt? Stephen King's Amazing Stories? Ah, good ol' television shows that required writing. In this day and age of so-called reality TV, we need to bring back shows like that. I had several publishers look at my short story collection and tell me the stories reminded them of these old shows. A different creature each week, that sort of thing. I just wish they didn't want $900 to publish my book. That's why I self publish. It might not be glamorous or letting me get out of my day job, but at least the stories are in the world. I can't afford those high publishing prices. I'm a forklift jockey. Anyway, just wanted to throw that out there. Now I'm off to finish my beer and write some more.

The Twilight Zone featured a lot of short films, including independent French films. I wasn't too keen on horror, but that series had some great stories. I used to like skit shows like the old Saturday Night Live (20th century) and Mad TV, and even the Tracey Ulman show. And looking back at "The A-Team's" first series, that was even better than I remembered. Even the old G.I. Joe series had great episodes on the love triangle between Destro, the Baroness, and the Baroness's secret identity. I tried watching TV recently, and there was no depth to anything.

If they were decent publishers, they'd be paying YOU to publish your book!
