About Me

I'm a writer/producer living in Los Angeles. Before that I was a journalist and magazine editor, so I guess you could say I'm very much into media. I'm originally from the East coast. And I'm down to earth, casual, easy-going and fun. Want to know more? Just ask. When it comes to me, I'm an expert on the subject.

Since people keep asking me about my credits, here's my "official" unofficial entertainment biography:

Bill B. is a Los Angeles-based writer/producer who has worked in television for so long he's stopped giving all his credits in job and pitch meetings. But if anyone cares, it's about 30 different shows.

Prior to his TV career, Bill was senior editor of Los Angeles Magazine, where a life-long love of the printed word quickly evaporated once Hollywood beckoned.

He's written for dozens of sitcoms and animated shows, as well as reality television; that is, if reality shows were actually written, which everyone knows isn't the case.

When pressed, he'll admit to having credits on sitcoms like "Mama's Family," "Empty Nest," "Martin," and the new "Mickey Mouse Club," where he predicted great fame for T.J. Fantini, but thought Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears were just flashes in the pan.

On the animation front, he's penned such shows as "Rugrats," "Pinky and the Brain" and "Aaahh! Real Monsters," and attributes his success in that world to playing with coloring books and crayons when his time would have been better served attending his University of Florida classes.

In the reality field, Bill's worked on such shows as "Blind Date," "ElimiDate" and "Change of Heart"--experiences that even today prevent him from having a normal dating life.
