I have read on USA's page that it's policy to not except ideas or creative material. Although I believe I have a great idea for an episode on Burn Notice. Who do I contact for that?

The reason why they don't accept creative material is to avoid the potential for future lawsuits where someone might say, "Oh, that episode was my idea that I submitted but never got paid for," or whatever. So the best thing to do is to get an agent and develop your idea into a spec script.

WOW!! I secondish that!!!!! (pardon my Bushism) No but seriously I agree, should I ever come up with anything worthy of BN attention (doubtful... extremely doubtful... completely impossible) I would agree unconditionally, unequivocally and indubitably, to use any and all of my ideas for the benefit of Burn Notice.. Should I be overwhelmed, completely flabbergasted and enthralled without any expectation of compensation, you bet your a** I would be. My reward would be in being heard!!!! As of yet 'my fantasies' about BN aren't allowed on USA. Oh well maybe a book version??????? tongue.gif
