I might take some heat here, but am I the only one that thinks entering any comedy script into any screenwriting contest is a monumentally stupid concept to begin with?
Generally, if there's a drama that everyone else likes, I can at least be like, "I can see why people like this" because there are some generally agreed upon standards of what makes a drama a good drama.
Meanwhile, Chuck Lorre is one of the most wildly successful comedy writers of our time. But if I was a contest reader, and he submitted his latest feature, I wouldn't be able to read past page five because my brains would be splattered all over page six.
