So, I was watching an incredibly hilarious animated adult TV show last night about a little player/secret agent named "Archer". It's teh first season, which aired in January 2010.

Now, Archer came to life when a man by the name of Adam Reed of the TV network "FX" was sitting in a cafe in Salamanca, Spain. As he sat there, he was drooling over a beautiful, spanish woman whom he did not have the balls to open or say a single word to her.

So, Adam Reed, conjured up the idea of creating a soave, rude, conceited and self-centered secret agent named Archer who would have the "perfect line".

He pitched the idea to FX networks, who have made a total of 10 episodes, and ordered an additional 2nd season!!

So, if you are ever unable to seduce that beautiful latina, at the very least - make yourself a millionaire as a result, just like Adam Reed did ;-)

You can instant watch "Archer" on Netflix - all 10 episodes! I strongly recommend you watch if you want some really good laughs!

Heck - if you have a successful show on a national network.....hell yeah. i work in broadcasting, and if you sell the rights to a show that you created - you are probably getting paid 100KUSD per show to air in the latter episodes of a 2nd season! The more seasons a show runs, and a networks orders, the more $$$ you get paid..

MiXX,
Can you expand on pitching? I'm moving up to LA soon and have some ideas!

PM me on what you you have on teh table, and I'll point out some avenues you can take.

New York is a better spot - New Yorkers have more of a hustler mentality and open doors to genuine ideas.... FX Networks is HQ in NY.
