LOS ANGELES – Critics are anticipating a great year for television as TV writers gear up to start work on an upcoming fall lineup.
In the upcoming days, a core group of television writers will meet under the huge vaulted ceiling of the beautiful Writers Guild headquarters. From there, they’ll decide everything from new programming, to which of your favorite characters will get killed off in the coming months.
The Ceremony of the Fall Lineup dates back to ancient Greece, when writers would gather together to decide which of the popular politicians of the day would be lampooned in that year’s plays.
In recent years the Ceremony has been modernized to include the official Recalibrating of the Robots that write The Big Bang Theory as well as the Great Deciding, in which all sports game results are designed for maximum revenue.
