If it was 1997 you wouldn't be listening to this episode, but neither would the modern day folks who are stuck in the past, in Diana's TV show pitch this week.

But it's not enough just to imagine it, for the show to be great, you obviously have to create it too.
This week Diana pitches an idea that's been brewing in her noggin for awhile- a TV show that looks at the world of mythical creatures that help out adults.

It's double trouble this week, because Jackie and Diana are both pitching tv shows inspired by the Death Cab for Cutie concert they attended.
