TV Show Idea Help

For the last 2 months i have been working on a TV show that I think would be good.

Anyone know how I go about pitching to someone, like an Ari Gold agent type of person.

I googled for help but it didnt do much for me

not sure how to go about it exactly, but your 1st step should be to get your idea on paper. then register your idea with the WGA. that way no one can take your idea without your permission. and if someone does, you'll be able to sue them. gl

you basically have to know somebody who knows somebody

Have you written a spec script or is it just an idea? If you have a script it will be A LOT easier than an idea.
