Who do you think are some of the best Teleplay writers?

I like Joss Whedon and Bryan Fuller. I'm excited about two of Fuller's future projects. One based on Hannibal Lecter and the other is a remake of The Munsters called "Mockingbird Lane." I love how Fuller finds humor in morbid situations. Which is why these two shows sound right up his alley alongside "Pushing Daisies" and "Dead Like Me."

There are a lot of writing TV writing teams I dig as a whole, so I'm including them.

Vince Gilligan, Aaron Sorkin, Mitch Hurwitz/entire Arrested Development team, Dan Harmon/entire Community team, the entire Futurama team, basically everyone who wrote for The Simpsons from its inception until about 1999-2000, the Game of Thrones team, the Boardwalk Empire team, the House, M.D. team from its inception up until and through the episode "Broken", the 3rd Rock from the Sun team, John Cleese and Connie Booth, Loren Bouchard, Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko.

There are a lot more, but those are the ones I appreciate most.

I would say the Game of Thrones team, but I don't how much it's taken from the book.
