“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet”
True, Will, very true, but that doesn't mean you wouldn't pass it over because of the name. Would you drop over $5 for a fancy coffee at Cargo House (aka Starbucks)?
Today we look at Titles. Every writer knows how difficult it is to come up with a name for your script. Sometimes talking it out helps, so that’s what we are doing. Talking all about Titles of TV shows and thoughts about what works, what doesn't work, and crafting that perfect one that sparks the interest of a reader or a viewer.
Keep in touch with us during our break for updates on upcoming shows! Also, let us know what shows, writing topics, or other TV topics you'd like to hear about. We are here to talk all about your cult-like love of television.

Food on TV
This week we talk about food on television. Not that we don’t love a good binge of British Bake Off, but we’re talking food as part of a scripted show. Food is an essential part of life, so should it be for our characters on TV, but it’s so much more than set dressing. Food is a language, one that is full of reveals, secrets, and metaphors. We talk about how the choice of food in a script should never be random because what someone eats, or doesn’t eat, says so much about them. We also discuss how food can shape a story or can even be the engine for the story itself. And yes, it totally matters what is inside the fridge on set when it opens.
In the Devotional, Sierra admits to spending a crazy amount of time on TikTok but has been rewarded by the algorithm gods as they guided her to discovering Gilmore Gay. Moni laments her lack of inspiration for cooking lately and makes a bold attempt to get herself right again by signing up for a virtual cooking class with Claudia Christian.

The TV Sect Podcast: Pumpkin Spice Edition
We’re back from our hiatus, and back to talking TV! Fall is here. It’s time for football, sweater weather, and Halloween nights. It’s also time for The TV Sect Podcast: Pumpkin Spice Edition.
This week were talking all about the shows that feel like fall, shows that just have that Pumpkin Spice aesthetic of a crisp autumn day, no matter what time of year the show takes place. We ponder on what makes a show feel Pumpkin Spice, what doesn’t, and why a show might choose to feel like a season. We also discuss Halloween episodes and specials.
In the devotional this week, Moni confesses to never finishing a quintessential Pumpkin Spice show, and Sierra has a desperate plea aimed at all Halloween marketing and commercial executives.
