Dear Ryan Murphy:
Hey Ryan,
It’s me, Evan, I know you’re pretty busy what with your successful new show on FX. But there’s something I’ve been meaning to talk to you about. Glee.
What happened? The first season was fun, and you made us care about the characters, now it seems like you’re not even trying. I think you need to hire more writers, I read in Jane Lynch’s book that you don’t like to hire a staff of writers for your TV shows, that’s probably why the first seasons of your shows are critically acclaimed and them they slip down into the path of nonsense land, I mean come on, Rosie O’Donnell on Nip/Tuck?
I get that you’re busy, I want you to know that it’s okay to ask for help. I would personally love to help you write cohesive story lines that could possibly get your actors and your show back into the Emmy running. Notice how your star players didn’t get any Emmy nominations this year? Did you? Probably not since you’re busy writing good episodes of American Horror Story, and too busy to care about Glee.
So I am offering my services to you. I have some writing experience, a lot of performing experience, and a love of musical theater and an understanding of the characters on Glee, and enough sense to write them out of the hole you dug for them. I could come out and be a creative consultant if you feel that you would rather have writing and control over all your characters. I could pitch you a few ideas for Sue’s character and a fun story line for Will and Emma, and even an story-arc for Kurt and Blaine that doesn’t involve a stupid gay villain. So let’s talk.
Sincerely,
Evan Watkins
