Dear Google, "Can You Get Crabs From a Ferret?"

When writing a spec ((a new episode of an existing TV show that serves as a writing sample for aspiring TV writers)) or a pilot ((the very first episode of a prospective television series that is used to sell the show to a television network)), sometimes you have to "conduct research" (Google stuff) to ensure the authenticity of your script. For example, if you create a story line that (hypothetically) involves a new pet ferret bringing crabs (the STD) into the lead character's apartment, causing a crab outbreak, which results in the lead character attempting to conceal the outbreak with a botched clean-up effort, you might first have to find out -- "Can you even get crabs from a ferret?"

If you don't do your homework, someone who is more knowledgeable about crabs will be distracted by thoughts like, "Hey, you can't get crabs from a ferret...And it's not even legal to own a ferret in California!" instead of laughing at how brilliant and hilarious your script is.

Below are a list of some Google searches I conducted while writing scripts:
