Sites We Love - By Ken Levine

By Ken Levine is the blog of, hard as it is to imagine, Ken Levine. Who’s Ken Levine? He’s an Emmy-winning writer and producer of such shows as M*A*S*H, Cheers, Frasier, The Simpsons, Wings, and Everybody Loves Raymond. He frequently posts his thoughts on current shows, such as this post from today, as well as insights on the creative process for television (see this three part series on the creation of Frasier – ironically, this is by a guest writer, not Levine himself). One of my favorite past posts was this two parter entitled Lost House 24, a combination of three of Levine’s current favorites. Here’s a sample from part one:

12 pm – 1 pm
Oceanic Air Flight 15 wings from Sydney to Los Angeles. Jack is returning home after two years of hiding in the Outback because that’s as far away from Audrey as he could get. House spent two weeks in Australia learning the accent so he could better taunt Chase. The plane crashes. Jack saves 54 people. Learns they only have provisions for 53. He shoots one.

1 pm – 2 pm
House discovers he can walk. Sayid remembers Jack from once torturing him. Together, Jack and Doc build an entire village and Banana Republic outlet.

2 pm – 3 pm
Sawyer and House compete making Hurley fat jokes. Sayid tries to get radio communication. Nothing but static. They’re 2,000 miles from civilization. Jack’s cellphone rings.

Too many characters named Jack, man. I'm confused. I suppose it doesn't help that I've never seen House and I don't watch 24 anymore.
