FRONTPAGE SYNOPSIS FOR A SITUATION COMEDY, DRAMA & MYSTERY.
 Basics  for developing a situation comedy, drama, and mystery.
There is no set criteria, provided there is a taste of  intrigue and / or humor, the basis for a situation comedy will exist. For to long, television has relied on a standard format for script writing. This does not imply that's it's wrong, simply to say that there needs to be some leverage allowed within the formatting process for creative expression / exploration to exist. Even in the simplest story there can, and will be be multiple story lines, comedic situations allow for this expansion . Hollywood / television has been, and still is to selective in their selection process in determining who, and what they will consider, and if so, when it will be considered. And not allow for unknown or outside invention  and / or creative thought, unless it's from an established source. Hollywood, until only recently simply relied upon replaying or altered writing what's already been established, with slight variations. This is not wrong, just not very creative. There are reasons for this. Not allowing or expanding on  century old boundaries, the industry will never  discover new ground. In all actuality television is still in an infancy stage because of this stalemate.   Creative storytelling is endless , allow for a new beginning.  Television has reached a point of boredom, but is beginning to snap out of it, experimenting with prime-time comedy, reality shows and drams. Not until television / Hollywood redirects/or enhances their way of thinking will things change, and more creative and / innovative storytelling can be seen and heard. While writing/ formulating and evaluating ideas for a situation comedy, the need to stay focused on a direct line of  expression does no longer need to exist. The expression of the written word(s) can veer off in a totally different direction, existing to create another form of expression from an already conceived notion/or feeling, as long as some linkage is eventually available, and if not, that's OK. The creation of short story telling is a process that takes exploratory thought, and when creatively woven, if the work is finely sculptured, it makes for some very enjoyable and creative television. Again, if done correctly, a situation can be woven to tell any tale, each situation or illusion can be expanded on for expression, and the situations can eventually link at the end. Hollywood needs to reach out and explore the unexplored dimension, that until now, has not been uncovered in television and film. If any advancement in new forms of creative expression will exist, now is the time.
The same paradigm holds true for a drama /mystery, the need for some form of expressed linkage at the end can be crucial, but the highway to get there can be woven differently than how it's been done in the past. Again, television/Hollywood rely to much on the same formatting process for their expression and how it relates to a drama/mystery. The plot of an unknown, or, who done it, does not need to follow the same footsteps all the time, television again relies to much on a process to a plot line.


A very basic, but good analogy of this statement can be viewed from watching the television shows, PERSON OF INTEREST, MEDIUM & TWENTY FOUR "24" these shows explore a different form of expression than what the norm has been , one that I'm sure will open the door and allow for more creation and thought. With shows such as these, the viewer must watch week to week, only because they are telling a story, and playing catch-up can be time consuming and confusing for the viewer. Again, in it's simplest form, an occasional linkage to a point of reference is all it takes to make a complex theme, seem simple.
