17. Episode 15: Baywatch: The Second Wave: The Ups and Downs of My Spec Script

This week, I talked about Baywatch and how the show often got overlooked, despite the fact that it dealt with many trauma and disability episodes. The first episode I talked about was "A Matter of Life and Death." I began thinking about different ideas and story lines for Baywatch after watching an interview with one of the executive producers. I then talked about my favorite episode of the series, "Shattered" which involved Mitch getting paralyzed during a rescue and having to go through rehabilitation. I started writing a script, Crippled Perception and wrote to the Baywatch Production Company. After getting a phone call and some encouragement from Baywatch. I also got some information about a Special Olympics episode they happened to be producing, when they received my letter. Through my script I found another process my disability.
