‘Beggars’ Banquet
Geoff Shackelford attributes to me the authorship of all 42 episodes of “Beggars & Choosers” (Letters, Jan. 28). As much as I appreciate the compliment, as well as his other kind words about the show, the statement is untrue.
I co-created the show (along with the late Brandon Tartikoff) and wrote the pilot and many of the episodes, but I did not write them all. The following very talented writers wrote scripts: Scott Kaufer, Eugenie Ross-Lemming, Brad Buckner, David Shore, Charlie Hauck, Chris Cluess, Wendy Goldman, Julie Sayres and Lynn Seifort.
