Dear Editor:

I wish to take issue with a recent article that appeared in Theanticrist.  It is absolutely untrue that I am trying to peddle a marginal sitcom to the networks.  In fact, my first sitcom, Julia and Jaime Do Jersey, was a smashing success which led to ìHanginí in Lab E.î The role of Dr. Drake, the hapless tutor was first offered to Nick Nolte who insisted on artistic license by being the RTA (rectal teaching associate) for the lab.  Nolte was released from his contract to do a remake of Behind the Green Door for the Kesterson Brothers.  I have since signed new discovery, Dan Hoyt, who last starred in ìTales from the Pumpkin Patchî a mini series about Yuk Yuk Johnson, star tractor puller.

My other credits include ìGuilty Until Proven Innocentî with Robert Blake, Ray Lewis and O.J. Simpson and ìHoney, I Shrunk the Kidî starring Jason Reinberg and Katie Marienfeld.  And, who can forget my first full length special, ìHannibalî starring Nathan Beucke? 

ìHangin in Lab Eî had some weaknesses I will admit.  First, the cast of eightóChristopher Hempel, Jason Foerst, Jean Ann Dymott, Marcus Wade, Sarah Patton, Christy White, Christine Otis, and Andrea Fischer were cast as introverted, science geek, medical students.  Sure Ambar ìAw Shucksî Bajpai was not a good pick either.

 I personally read all of the reviews of my shows and I ignore the whining critics except for that Scott Kirkley whose column, ìWarmth and Witî has always given my shows wonderful reviews. 

You need to know, Mr. Editor, that casting has begun for my newest project, ìSex in Lab E,î a funny sitcom about three single medical students in search of good times.  If youíre so damn smart, you tell me who I should cast in the three roles.

Dysfunctionally,

Michael Hosokawa
