TV Spec Writing
Never spec an episode of a cancelled, low rated, or old show.
Keep it fresh.
Spec shows that are well rated and will obviously be around for several more seasons are how you get the most bang for your buck when writing a spec episode.
You worked hard on it -- why not make sure it's a solid and sought after read for more than just a few months.

A former Hollywood Lit Manager, Michael Ferris started ScriptAWish.com as a way to help other writers get their foot in the door and has helped several writers sell their scripts (like Travis Beacham of PACIFIC RIM) and set up projects with producers like Academy Award Winner Arnold Kopelson. The mission of ScriptAWish.com is to help aspiring writers get their scripts into shape and then get their foot in the door. His new venture is a collaboration with several professional screenwriters called StudioGhostwriters.com and is intended to help producers get their movie ideas on paper or their drafts polished for production.
