thanks for the rating. I am trying to figure out what I want to say. I feel close, but not quite yet.

"TO THE HAPPY COUPLE" sounds unique, Stephanie McNutt.

Your logline is the overall logline for a web-series, so it might not fit in this logline template, but your pilot logline and your episode loglines can fit in the template:

"After ______ (the inciting incident/the event that sets the plot in motion), a _______ (the protagonist with an adjective) tries/attempts to _______ (goal of story) so ________ (stakes)."

Loglines are one or two sentences (a one-sentence logline sounds better and it takes less time for a producer, director, etc. to read it). You can add the antagonist in the logline. The inciting incident can also be at the end of the logline.

Example #1:

"After a group of dog criminals arrives in a small town, an impulsive dog sheriff defends a dog treat factory so they won't steal food that's meant for hungry dog families."

Example #2:

"A dysfunctional couple works together to survive against bears after they crash on an abandoned road miles from help."

This is helpful as I was trying to get a hold of the series aspect for the log line. This is the insight I needed.
