Hooray for fake Hollywood!
Another puzzle success! This one was a little bit different: you were asked to be creative— both in your pitch and in your reasoning.
This puzzle was, of course, written with a specific pattern in mind (which I will reveal below) but I left it open to allow for other lateral-thinking solutions. Some of you thought outside the box and found another way in! And some of you were really stretching with those creative responses and your tough-but-fair Puzzleboy awarded you no points.
Are you scrubbed up? Ready to dissect this thing? Let’s operate.
Once again, the “good” answers were: Scalpel, Please!, The Art of the Heal, Blood Doctrine, and Kept Alive: Real Stories of Medicine.
So— what is Evan Roberts looking for in his shows?
He only likes titles that have body parts embedded in them.
Yes, really.
Scalpel, Please!
Blood Doctrine
The Art of the Heal
Kept Alive: Real Stories of Medicine
Hmmm. That is an oddly specific way to pick projects, but what do I know? This is the guy who created the shows Bones, Herman’s Head, Legion, Lipstick Jungle and America’s Next Top Model, after all.
