Baton Rouge Louisiana had Shock Theatre with mad scientist Dr Shock reading viewer letters during four breaks in a bad black an white horror film. In 1976 I convinced the star/producer to hire me as a writer. I traveled thirty miles once a week for the shooting at the TV station. I was paid one dollar a week which qualified me for WGA. Did not join because the fees cost more than I would make in several years. The star/producer refused to learn any lines so I wrote a short outline with jokes to guide him through improving the story...
