    The teacher was friendly and informed, and I learned a lot. This was a good introduction to the genre of writing for TV.

    I initially thought a day-long class would be daunting, even intimidating, but Jim Mendrinos is personable, funny, and clearly knows all the ins and outs of TV. I love that no matter the show mentioned, he has knowledgeable input. I couldn't recommend the class enough.

    The class was informative but the professional resume of the instructor seemed dated...with the tv landscape changing so rapidly, I would expect a fresher, more innovative POV.
