Your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew continue to try their hands at a little TV Pilot Analysis by playing The $25,000 Pyramid with lifelong friends, Will & Grace. Ian is in the captain's chair and Georgia's in the jumpseat as she's never seen the show. We're waiting for a flight in the late 1990s as we discuss:
- The real-life inspiration for the show
- What other programme had the executives at NBC concerned
- We talk about the power of television to bring about positive changes
- Charles Burrows and the legacy he has as a television director
- We ask which show had the better pilot script, Will & Grace or Cheers
- Ian makes some commentary on physical acting - not usually his go-to
- We remark about how much plot they're able to cover in 22 minutes and why that is
- Georgia gives us an update on if she's still watching Cheers or Spin City
- Would we ground the Will & Grace pilot or is it Cleared for Takeoff?
