Bravo—the cable channel—has a new show on air (as of October 28, 2002) that is relevant to probably any screenwriter—especially those interested in adapting books. It is called Page to Screen. The first episode—hosted by Peter Gallagher (Bob Roberts and Sex, Lies, and Videotape)—documented bringing The Silence of the Lambs to life on celluloid. Additional episodes look at Jaws, The English Patient, and Get Shorty, among others. Wednesday nights at 7!
Much acclaim has circulated about Monk—since mid-2002. But in case you haven't, watch Monk! Tony Shalhoub stars as “the defective detective” on USA Network, Fridays at 10:00 P.M. The show gives the obsessive compulsive someone to relate to in the quirky, highly perceptive Monk character, and gives screenwriters weekly examples of unexpected, yet inevitable resolutions. Though the first season aired its finale on USA in October, those episodes are getting a second run on ABC, Mondays.
