Below you'll find a random assortment of print and broadcast samples that I've written for various network and cable TV properties.

It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia

:30 Promos

I wrote almost every It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia promo for the show's first 7 seasons. Below are just a few of my faves.

Written for and produced by BLT


Anger Management

"A hostile makeover" 

and

"He's feeling renewed"

Following the whole tiger blood/"winning" melt down, this first ad marked Charlie Sheen's return to television... while the one below announced that the series was picked up for an additional 90 (!) episodes. I mean he was great in Hot Shots: Part Duex, but I still don't understand what people see in this guy.

Deadwood

"No law can make it respectable"

Written for and produced by BLT

The Americans

"All's fair in love and cold war"

A show about conflicted Russian spies living in suburban America in the '80's. Honestly, not my favorite line of the many I came up with - I much preferred "In the 1980’s, one family had different values" or the more subtle "It's always hard to tell" since it refers to the main characters attempt to blend in as well as their internal conflicts about spying.
