Thank You

Dear all Marktreitel.com viewers, Sperm Donor voters & viewers,

Thank you so much for all of your kind words and support.

Ever since Sperm Donor went online last week, Shoe and I have gotten hundreds of e-mails and phone calls of congratulations, warm wishes and tremendous compliments and kudos I apologize if I could not respond indepth to everyone, but I am honored and grateful of the outpouring of support from friends, renewed acquaintenances, and even total strangers. There was nothing sweeter than receiving a kind word from people of various stages of my life, who knew that I always wanted to write sitcoms, but for the first time, could not only see a product of my work -- but now had the personal knowledge that I have accomplished my lifelong dreams.

I was especially grateful to all the individuals who forwarded our vote campaign to hundreds of their friends. This was the internet in action -- and it was a total trip to get forwarded e-mails from random people saying that their friends loved our show and were new fans of Sperm Donor.

The email campaign was a phenomenal effort on everyone's part and I know I can speak for Shoe when I say, that not matter what the outcome of the contest, you have our deepest gratitude.



People ask me now, what advice do I have for new writers. I give them the following words of advice:

1. Never stop beleiving in yourself.
2. Make sure you have a day job to support yourself.
3. Go back in time and become the son of someone famous.

We feel honored that we made it this far, especially when we realize how hard it is to get anything produced without knowing someone. And although my father might look like Bob Hope, he wasn't. Shoe and I got where we are because of hard work, not because we knew a single person.


Whatever the outcome of the contest, this is just the beginning of our writing careers.

Stay tuned for chapter two...

Don't forget to watch the last two episodes of Situation: Comedy, this friday night  at 7-8 PM for an episode about tape night and next week, Sept. 9th, when they announce the winner. Make sure you Tivo so you can show the episodes to your friends.

I'm telling you next week's episode is Must See TV, just to see Shoe's hair.

Episode 107, I think, is one of the best. But Ep 108, with the pilots, which I assume you've already seen, has a good retrospective on us. It's damn funny for one reason. Shoe's hair.

I think we can build a time machine to go watch "Situation: Comedy"
