My first series was Sports Night.
I was thinking of that as a feature.
That it would be broadcast news but set at ESPN.
But all of the stories that I was thinking of
were short stories.
They weren't long and I said that to my agent, who
said, well, it sounds like you're describing a television series.
So that's how that happened.
And so generally, if it's the place that you're attracted to,
whether it's the White House or a news room or a cable sports
show, if it's the place that you're attracted to,
that's a TV series.
If the characters, metaphorically speaking,
die at the end of the story, if there's
no more story after that, then it's a feature.
