Writer's Room Videos Discontinued
Executive Producer Molly Newman &
Producer David Marshall Grant
Many bloggers have been asking about Writer's Room Videos for Season Three. Unfortunately, these videos have been discontinued by the “establishment”. The writing staff here at B&S really enjoyed them as a way to connect with fans. But we will be doing interviews, commentaries and other interesting pieces for the Season 3 DVD box set.
That is too bad. I really enjoyed them.

Scotty already seems like a quiet conservative housewife. They get married - or "married" - and suddenly he's vanished from recent scripts (where's he hiding exactly? in the kitchen fixing Kevin's pot roast?).
Show us what makes gay marriage different from straight marriage; explore that (besides the gay sex of course... or you can explore the gay sex, too, but you guys seem to get squeamish for Middle America when it comes to the physicality.... Maybe poster Maria is right. Maybe everyone should just cordially shake hands at bedtime).
The way it was set up, Kevin used to be kind of a playa (I'm sorry - I'm trying for rap here - player? playa?) In season one alone, Kevin had 3 "steady" relationships plus some one-night-stand action in a military bar.
It just seems to me that - to be honest - these fleeting urges should somehow reassert themselves, rise up and be confronted. Kevin has a history. And I truly got the feeling - according to the logic of the scripts we were presented - that Kevin "settled" for Scotty (call it what you will!) after being burned by Jason. Kevin would hardly assimilate himself so quickly and quietly to a life of monogomous domesticity.
I know you writers think that you have worked out these issues already. But you haven't. There are pieces missing.

Thanks for letting us know. I really did enjoy them.
Surely one of you has a digital camera at home... :D

@Will..so true,i also feel that Kevin's past issues and relationship dramaz were just swept under the carpet,you guys need to address them, I remember Kevin telling Chad he was not even remotely interested in settling down...hmmm..but i suppose you cant be faithful till you know why you should...is that where Scotty comes in?or did he just settle for scotty as jason suggests? These are issues that need to be addressed. Anyway,it's quite sad that there won't be anymore videos. Interviews will do though...it's better than nothing I suppose.

More Titles!!!
Ok. More goofing off! More shooting my wad. None of this means anything of course!. It's cool.
"A Fistful of Hen" -- Young vegetarian Paige goes berserk when, instead of the Tofu Turkey that grandma Nora has promised her, she is served (and bites into) cornish game hen during a charity luncheon benefitting bone cancer that she didn't want to attend in the first place. Actually, slapstick titles like this are probably more appropriate for "Two and a Half Men"... anyway, Paige, blinded by her meat madness, breaks that odd Walker monkey that has had cameos in the past couple episodes.
"The Aphrodisiacal Stench of Mackerel and Gasoline" -- Kevin and Scotty take off for a mountain fishing trip, replete with tent, sleeping bags, Coleman stove, where Kevin meets a hot idealistic Mormon missionary in a restaurant men's room to whom he finds himself inexorably drawn. They exchange phone numbers and...
(wait. actually, I just rewatched "Latter Days" last week....I have a strong feeling my story integrity is being compromised by thoughts of sexy Mormon missionaries in men's rooms....)
"Swan Lake and Ouija Boards" -- Sarah grows alarmed when Paige becomes obsessed with the all-male Matthew Bourne production of "Swan Lake" which Paige orders through Netflix. Nora and Saul jointly consult a psychic and card reader in this episode.
Oh. Almost time for Barack! More later.

Sally Fields (Nora) is unbelievable. She is my all time favorite. I love when her and Kitty fight back and forth and they have no intentions of being mad at one another but just go at it back and forth, it truly is an art form what you writers do and how the actors pick up what you are envisioning. At least that is what I have been envisioning. Great job the show is "THE BEST" keep up the great work.
