Many people have been able to get pitch meetings by just cold calling, especially the smaller networks and especially with the reality shows.

I actually picked up copies of Decline I and II at a flea market once. I walked out without paying.

Before you approach a production entity or even a potential producer, you should write up a treatment and register your show with the Writers Guild of America.

What I found interesting is that it's human nature to have a family.
