Hurry It Up, Please

Guest blogger Jim Hanas captures the wickedly funny tone of the late lamented Action in a biting comment on the mass production of writing:

[I]t still reminds me of a line from the doomed yet brilliant Fox series Action. At one point, a screenwriter who's been put through the wringer checks into the hospital for exhaustion. "Exhaustion?" scoffs soulless producer Peter Dragon. "You're just sitting there. Writing is the cure for exhaustion."
