I think most people don't know what really happens in department meetings and behind the scenes. But we are funny and smart and often just starting real careers in our thirties when families and everything else is happening at the same time. Plus, the whole tenure process is FILLED with stress and drama--so I hear. There could be research stealing and professor-student tension (I've heard many stories about students with crushes). I mean, the push-pull between the classes that are filled with inspiration and brilliant ideas versus the ones when NOBODY has read and you can hear crickets--that's dramedy right there! Come on girls!

There have been High School TV shows (Welcome Back, Room 222), too. I remember loving the episodes of "thirtysomething" that focused on Gary's work as an English prof.<br /><br />So let's write! <br /><br />First, it obviously must take place at a 2nd tier college in a bucolic rural area so that the professors are forced to be like family to each other.....<br /><br />Next?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-396296859297638787.post-16278255575686458072010-06-25T13:32:10.744-05:002010-06-25T13:32:10.744-05:00We should write one!

Maybe we should write one! ;)<br /><br />In fact, when I was in grad school, I thought that maybe I'd try to pitch someone a reality show about grad students because OMG, the DRAMA! <br /><br />I think that's why I love the academic novel so much (which we're talking about over at my place right now).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
