The Birds Of Paradise


Howdy!Howdy! Howdy!

I recently wrote a pilot for a sitcom that I created "The Birds of Paradise". CTV reviewed my entry, said they liked it but didn't have the budget right now to produce it. Perhaps, they just need a little push! Join the facebook group "CTV Should Produce This Show" and send it off to as many people as you can....if we can get CTV's attention, maybe that will put a little fire in their britches!
Thanks a trillion times!

The Birds Of Paradise

Lola Baker stomps wildly through her blue jeaned colored life filled with family, friends and chocolate. Armed with only spandex and a quick tongue, Lola is a healthy mixture of intelligence and sarcasm, ensuring that any topic is open for ridicule. Lola Bird’s life is lived at a quick pace. She is a silver-tongued mother of two, sassy wife of one, and a disheveled daycare operator, she lives life to the fullest using as little energy as possible. Her life in the small rural town of Paradise Ontario requires bundles of energy though, and much to her dismay, she finds little time to vegetate. Lola is constantly kept on her toes warding off her teenage daughters many hormonal admirers. The phone lines are constantly busy, the doorbell is always ringing and teenage scavengers are incessantly cleaning out her cupboards. Her son is the apple of her eye, but the sty on others. He has successfully wrapped her around his finger, and relies on his mother's blind-site to get him out of many sticky situations. Lola's husband Carl is the love of her life, and the biggest pain in her rump. Although he would never admit it, Carl gains pleasure from driving his wife crazy, after all it was her sarcasm and wit that he fell in love with many, many years ago.
Lola's mother, whose favorite hobby is marriage, lives not too far from her daughter and is a daily part of her life. Raising her children in the same town she grew up in, Lola's neighbors are not strangers. Her brother lives a few blocks away as does her father, her mother and her best friend Jeannie.
Lola's kitchen table is a place for family, friends and the odd stranger to gather and gossip, laugh, cry and complain. There are plenty of jokes, pranks and wit flying around the Bird house......but then again, why wouldn't there by, there lives are one big punch line!
