Levant visit last year... the return

"A veteran writer-producer of TV sitcoms and director of Hollywood family-oriented features, Brian Levant began his long TV career at age 23 when he joined the writing staff of ABC's Happy Days, a faux 1950s sitcom which cashed in on the nostalgia boom initiated by the success of American Graffiti (1973). He eventually became a supervising producer on the series and moved on to write, produce and serve as a creative consultant for the show's hit spin-off, Mork and Mindy (ABC, 1978-82). "

Personal response to Levant's presentation at the University of Arizona on April 1, 2005:

$2.5 MIL for 25 second opener, CG, models, real-time in reverse, slow-play/fast play,

Paint outs, make outs and inside jokes. Million dollar tokes, references to the original Governor Arnold across miles of trash, lengths of cut film and recycled ideas. Painfully uncomfortable zoom-ins & zoom outs, superman stuntman original Betty. Turboman flying red muscle turned pre-pubescent Vader.
