NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS FOR WRITERS

Best Mann: It's 'lectric!

Best Mann For The Job #33: While our desperate fugitives seek medical attention, the new sheriff is reminded that law enforcement is not all gun play and fisticuffs ...

Best Mann For The Job stars Grace Mann, a woman with a complicated past who returns home to become sheriff of Hope Falls, Tennessee. This serial drama aspires to the style of the classic serial comic strips, with the crime-bustin' chops of a rural Dick Tracy, the small-town charm of Gasoline Alley, and the emotional touches of The Heart of Juliet Jones. (Or if you prefer, imagine if T.J. Hooker became the new sheriff of Mayberry.)
