Insight into the harsh reality for writers in LA
April 6th, 2009 by Nat JMYou might know The L Word as that-TV-show-that-used-to-be-good or that-lesbian-TV-show. Or you might not even have heard of it. It ran for 6 seasons on Showtime and was centred around the lives of a few lesbians in Los Angeles.
Ilene Chaiken is often seen as the creator of the show, but this isn’t exactly the whole the truth… Read “L Word” Co-Creators Michele Abbott and Kathy Greenberg Break Their Silence to find out about who really created the show and those great characters.
I have to admit I felt a bit upset as I read this, I felt upset and angry for those two writers, angry at the way they were treated by the production company. If only they had been allowed to remain as co-producers on the show, The L Word would probably never have been known as that-TV-show-that-used-to-be-good.
