LOS ANGELES – This is a main title I did about two or three months ago for a TV show pitch (the music is a scratch track). Sincerely, Ted L. Nancy is based on the Letters from a Nut series of books. The author writes letters to various companies as the Ted L. Nancy character. He asks, for example, of a motel operator, if he may bring his own ice machine with him into his room. Their replies and his subsequent follow-up letters are hilarious. I haven’t heard if the TV show has been picked up yet. I’ll keep you posted.

Below is from the back cover of the second book, Extra Nutty! Even More Letters from a Nut!

Dear MS. Ramey:

Thank you very much for answering my letter concerning the haunted sponge I bought from a Ralphs store. Ralphs has been and always will be the only store I shop in for my food and sponge needs.

In your letter to me you said that I would be hearing from the supplier of this sponge. I have not heard from them. And this sponge is bad.

Can someone from Ralphs come and get this sponge from me? This sponge is out to get me. I am afraid.

After I got your letter I went down to my basement and locked that sponge in a steel box and put a chain around that box. Then I wrapped that box in tape and put a shackle around that. Then I boarded up the basement door with over 1000 nails. Then I put a manacle on that door. Then I went upstairs to my room to get a good nights sleep.

At about 3 o’clock in the morning I woke up and looked down. That sponge was right by my bed. I am scared. Please help me.

Also, do you sell Brillo at your store?

When will I hear from the supplier? I need to know. Thank you for your reply.

Sincerely,

Ted L. Nancy
