    Homework help needed, please.

    Hello everyone! I am writing a biography on a favorite chef of mine and am having a hard time with the grammar. Can you help?

    One of the things I'm stuck on is how do I write the name of a TV show? Do I quote it? underline it? italisize it?

    Or, would anyone who is a great writer be willing to proof read it? It's always good to have a few sets of eyes look at it. If so, I can e-mail it to you. It's due tomorrow (Monday).

    Thanks in advance.

    I can proof it if you email it to me. Italicizing is only for written material, like books and magazines. TV shows one puts in quotes.

    I believe TV shows get quotation marks: for example, "Frasier" ... Good luck on your paper!

    One thing a journalist friend of mine taught me about writing an essay or topical theme was to #1 State what you are about to say #2 State the facts #3 Summarize what the most important points were. May not help in your situation but also, ALWAYS USE SPELL CHECK if you have the where-with-all Good luck
