What this episode covers
This episode of Conversations with Ross features Peter Mehlman. Peter is a writer who in addition to creating his own show (It’s Like, You Know) also was a staff writer on Seinfeld. Peter spoke in detail about how Seinfeld scripts came together. There was not a traditional writers’ room on the show, Peter explained why that worked for him. He gave a short list of his favorite episodes and offered some behind-the-scenes stories of the show. He also discussed his experience running his own sitcom. He made what he called “every wrong decision he could possibly make.” There is some great stuff here for anyone curious about what it’s like to run your own network show. I hope you listen to and enjoy our conversation. This interview is also available to download for free on iTunes and Stitcher.
