Your New Hollywood: You Get It! Got It? Good

Gabrielle & Kia chat with employment lawyer, Donna Ballman, about internships and the law.

Our coverage of the pilot pick ups continues with NBC. There are a few projects that we are pretty excited about.

NBC was one of our favorite networks when we were kids and we are pulling for it to make a comeback. Ratings for the network have been kinda low, so they could use a hit. We’re calling this episode, “NBSee US! No? You have to say it with a bit of an accent for it to be effective. We have fond memories of seeing the network’s promos for the Fall season. What were your favorite network promos or did you even take note of them when you were a kid?

Enjoy!

In episode #41, we chat about NBC's pilot pickups. Among their new series is a medical drama (golly, what a surprise). Dan asks if we really need more medical shows? Are they as good as they once were? Remember 'ER?' 'Trauma,' hell, even 'Emergency?' Weigh in would you please? We would love to hear about some of your favs.

Welcome,

We continue our pilot pick up confab this week, focusing on the original sitcoms from Amazon Studios.

This is the first time that we will be reviewing a streaming service. Were you one of the many people whose eyes were bloodshot after watching ‘House of Cards?’ If the people at Amazon have their way, your going to be logging in many hours of viewing time once their sitcoms are posted. At least they hope so. Will they be successful? Only time will tell. Until then, let’s take a look at the various pilots that Amazon has in the works.

Hello There,

If you know us, then you know that March is not only about basketball, it’s about pilot season and the pilot pickups.

You could say this is like Christmas for us and we are eager to see what’s under the TV tree.

Now, we should warn you, we may end up with a few pairs of tube socks, but we have faith in the TV Gods and are sure somewhere under that TV tree will be something even better. There just has to be, cause it’s pilot season for goodness sake!

In episode 39 we bring you up to speed on a few of the pilots that ABC has in the works. Are we blown away? You will have to listen to the show to find out.

Enjoy!

Are you one of the millions of people who find yourself falling down that endless rabbit hole called, YouTube? If so, this week’s podcast is for you.

We LOVE YouTube and wanted to learn more about it. We had questions, like, what’s up with these original channels that Google has invested in so heavily? How did it all begin? What are some of the top original channels and why are they doing so well? In order to get answers, we called in a special guest to help answer some of our many questions, Tubefilter.com journalist, Sam Gutelle. Being the YouTube pro that he is, hopefully he can shine a light on those Russian car crash videos as well. Enjoy!

Thank you so much for checking back in with us. We hope that 2013 has presented you with only good things!

We’re happy to be back and kick the year off with a hot discussion about child actors and their abilities. If your wondering why we’re so hot under the collar over this subject, just check out the article titled, "Sorry, Quvenzhané Wallis, but Best Actress Oscar Nods Are for Big Kids," written by Scott MacDonald for 'The Atlantic.' Grrr...Mr. MacDonald, we need to talk!

Gabrielle continues her conversation with entertainment attorney, Diane Krausz, regarding young people in Hollywood and child labor laws.

Hello Everyone and thank you for checking in on the podcast!

In this week's show we take a look at child labor laws and the entertainment industry. Over the years a number of our friends and relatives have asked us various questions about children working in show business. Questions such as, "Should I sign this contract?" "Do they need a permit for this or that?" "Am I allowed to see what my child is doing while they are on set?" We are always happy to answer what we can, but having an entertainment lawyer on the program who can help create a go-to-show for those times when we are not able to answers specific questions is a good thing. Enter entertainment attorney Diane Krausz!

Gabrielle presents this week's Friday Quickie - a speedy snack of entertainment news bits that you may like to check out over your holiday weekend. Enjoy!
