ABC orders the most comedy pilots from women writers.
 |
| Thanks ABC for recognizing women comedy writers! |
So far the
networks have ordered a total of 50 comedy scripts to pilot. Of those, 15 are
the works of brilliantly funny women. I think these broads deserve a shout out.
What an accomplishment!
Also ABC gets a pat on the back for giving women writers a fair shake. Here’s how the network numbers break down as
