This article is about former Simpsons' writers/producers, Mike and Julie Scully, having sold their comedy project to ABC. Their new comedy goes by the name Raising Adults, and is actually based off Scully's own experiences they have guiding their five adult kids to independence. In fact it developed from a duo script that centers on a married couple who wonder if their children will actually ever "grow up" despise being actual adults already. This project happens to be Mike and Julie Scully's second sale to a television network this season, the first being a single-camera comedy at Fox based on the Spanish series: Los Serrano. I chose this article because the original title stated: The Simpsons' Mike and Julie Scully Sell Autobiographical comedy To ABC. After seeing the words The Simpsons, it immediately caught my attention on what the writers/producers of one of my favorite TV shows were up to. As a student, this article shows me that you always strive even farther in your career and set your goals to be endless. Mike and Julie are perfect examples of this because even after having huge success with The Simpsons, they continued to compose and put together scripts for TV networks to buy. As a filmmaker this shows me that ideas can come from anywhere or even be right in front of you without noticing. Take the Scully's Raising Adults for example. This autobiographical comedy was taken from their personal life experiences with their adult children. Theres always a story around you, a way to be creative and come up with script ideas or movies that just might be life changing for you in the future. As a consumer, I'm excited to see that two well-experienced and great writers/producers from The Simpsons are soon to come out with a new television series that looks like it would be successful in the future, similar to Los Serrano. Although this raises some questions like: Are TV networks buying multi-camera projects from only experienced writers? Does a reputation as big as The Simpsons matter when you're faced with a situation like Mike and Jullie's? It makes me really think about all those writers out there trying to hit it big at least once in their life.
