The past few months have left my schedule very tight as I worked between producers and a few interested television stations but now I am proud to announce the first Burb Dog sitcom coming to Walter Media Group!\nWMG ordered a half season-- six episodes of Three and a Half Dog Night, which has been in production since the first part of February. We have a kick-ass production staff and we managed to recruit some awesome talent too; Jason's part is actually being recorded by Jason Campbell himself!\nDue to production delays and cable scheduling we are expecting some test airing toward the fall and if it tests well it'll make its premier in June of 2019. For those of you who are interested in joining the focus groups WMG will be showing the pilot Oct through Nov at their offices in Los Angeles, Seattle, and New York. If you're in the area I hope you can get onto the panels and show your support!\nAs a special thanks for following my stories for so long I wanted to upload the teaser that got us a meeting with Mr. Howe and his execs. I hope you like it!\nI also wish you all a fantastic Easter which, oddly, is on April 1st this year. Happy Bunny Day to all!","content":"THREE AND A HALF DOG NIGHT PILOT:\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;  \nPILOT  \nWALTER MEDIA GROUP\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;  \nSCHEDULED AIR DATE 06/07/19\n\n**TEASER**\n\nFADE IN:\n\n3P5D ROCK CONCERT MONTAGE\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\nJASON (V.O.)  \nBurb Dogs haven't always had a place in the spotlight.\u0026nbsp; In  \nfact, until the last few years very few of them have been  \ncomfortable coming out of the shadows.\u0026nbsp; I've done my part  \nto help, but sometimes social advancements just need, as  \nmy boyfriend puts it, \"a little kick in the tail.\".\n\nLEATHER DUFFLE BAG LANDS ON AN ARMCHAIR\n\nJASON (CONT'D)  \nThis is a story about my boyfriend's band-- the 'kick' in  \nquestion.\n\nINT. THE GANG'S LIVING ROOM - MORNING\n\nAn old but well-kept home, reminiscent of the 70s but with  \nobvious updates.\u0026nbsp; Rustic-chic style.\u0026nbsp; Light filters  \nthrough curtains.\u0026nbsp; Meet TANNER (mid 20s), upbeat, well-  \nmeaning, gregarious and the band's singer.\u0026nbsp; He is  \ndressed in casual street clothes; neither high quality nor  \nshabby.\n\nJASON (CONT'D)  \nHim?\u0026nbsp; No, that's Tan Paw Jr-- his Green Name, anyway. He   \ngoes by Tanner.\u0026nbsp; Although my boyfriend would never admit  \nit, that German Shepherd is more or less the leader of  \nthe group, and definitely the brains behind it.\n\nGUITTAR CASE SET BY DOOR AND HIKING BACKPACK SET BESIDE IT\n\nTanner looks back and nods to a Rottweiler, who just came  \nin through the door.\u0026nbsp; Meet CJ (mid 20s), outgoing,  \ndedicated, hard-working and the band's guitar player.\u0026nbsp; He  \nis dressed in clothing that matches the style of the  \nroom: rustic but home-y.\n\nJASON (CONT'D)  \nNot him either.\u0026nbsp; That Rottweiler's CJ-- as far as I know   \nthat's his Green Name and Common Name.\u0026nbsp; If Tanner is the  \nface of the band, then CJ would definitely be its heart.\n\nCOLLECTION OF LAUNDRY DUMPED ON FLOOR\n\nAn imposing Bull Terrier with a huge grin moves to both  \nDogs and gives them headlock hugs.\u0026nbsp; Both take it well  \nthough they escape as soon as they can.\u0026nbsp; Meet JD   \n(late 20s) impulsive, irreverent, crass and the band's   \ndrummer.\u0026nbsp; He is dressed in a simple t-shirt and cargo   \nshorts.\n\nJD  \nWell guys, it looks like we finally did it.\u0026nbsp; We effin'   \ndid it!\n\nJASON (V.O.)  \nYeah... that's my Guard Dog.\u0026nbsp; Jack Daniels, or 'JD' as  \neveryone calls him.\u0026nbsp; He may be a little rough around  \nthe edges, but I love him anyway.\u0026nbsp; Oh, and if you've ever  \nmet JD in person you'll know that the network censors had  \nus adjust dialogue to avoid fines.\n\nCast moves around room discussion going on in the  \nbackground as they get settled.\n\nJASON (CONT'D)  \nThree and a Half Dog Night is probably the biggest Burb  \nDog thing that's hit mainstream media since Jae and KC  \ndid their SEXX tour.\u0026nbsp; What most people don't know about  \nis what it took to make that happen.\u0026nbsp; This is a peek  \nbehind that curtain.\n\nNUMEROUS SUITCASES, CARDBOARD BOXES, AND BASKETS FALL   \nDOWN JUST INSIDE THE FRONT DOOR\n\nA particularly fluffy Bull Terrier mix rises up from  \nbeneath them.\u0026nbsp; He pulls a sock off the bridge of his  \nmuzzle.\u0026nbsp; Meet SULLY (early 20s) careful, introverted,  \npolite and the band's keyboardist.\u0026nbsp; He is dressed in  \na button up shirt with a sweater vest over it and a pair  \nof dress pants.\n\nJASON (CONT'D)  \nOh, and that's Sullivan, JD's half brother.\u0026nbsp; He's in the  \nband too.\n\nSULLY  \nA little help here?\n\nAll three go over to help him.\u0026nbsp; CJ and Tanner pick up  \nitems while JD picks up Sully by the back of his shirt.\n\nJD  \nTold ya you shoulda spent more time at the gym.\n\nSULLY  \nAnd I told you that you could have carried more than  \none trash bag of clothes which, I noticed, didn't even  \nmake it to the door.\n\nJD  \nHey! You're the one who bought the off-brand, Sully.\n\nCJ  \nTanner, why don't you and JD go get the rest of the  \nstuff out of the truck?\u0026nbsp;\n\nTanner and JD exit front door talking.\u0026nbsp;\n\nCJ  \nSully, go check out the rooms upstairs and figure out   \nwhich one you want.\n\nSully run sup the stairs and CJ remains in the room   \ncleaning up fallen items.\n\nJD (O.C.)  \nI get the one with its own crapper!\n\nJASON (V.O.)  \nThe most Three and a Half Dog Night fans know that  \nthe four of them came from pretty diverse backgrounds  \nbut few know the whole story.\n\nSOUND OF SOMETHING BREAKING UPSTAIRS\n\nSULLY (O.C.)  \nDo we have a spare toilet?\n\nCJ puts a paw over his face.\n\nJason (V.O.)  \nIt's a complicated one.\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
