Someday in the future, perhaps when the dinosaurs return to Earth to claim their rightful title as the true leaders of the planet, the Writer's Strike will be over. When that happens you'll be ready to submit your idea about a teenage, female, vampire slaying cyborg (see, there IS a difference) to the networks. The question is how you go about doing that without being thrown out on your posterior by a bunch of overweight, bald, cigar-chomping executives in pinstripe business suits and bowler hats.

That's where the website How Stuff Works comes in. In addition to having articles on removing grease stains and parallel universes the site has a pretty extensive section on television and things related to television which, when you think about it, is pretty much everything. One of the articles is about getting your idea about a television show to the networks.
