My latest fiction story, “More Rebooted Shows for the 2020-21 Season” is out today online in Helix Literary Magazine. It’s a humor piece making fun of the trend of rebooting every show instead of pursuing original ideas.
An excerpt:
The Stale Prince of Bel-Air (7 p.m. Sundays, NBC): Will (Will Smith) returns to the East Coast, still trying to break into the music industry. Though he works as a nanny for his fashion designer cousin Hilary (Karyn Parsons) and still bankrolls his perpetually underemployed friend Jazz (DJ Jazzy Jeff), he realizes his precocious young nephew has the talent to become a dubstep wunderkind—if the now-serious Hilary will let him, and if Will can design the perfect papier- mâché animal head in time for the big show.
