How do TV show writers come up with creative ideas?

As a TV show enthusiast, I've always wondered how writers come up with such creative ideas for their shows. From researching and talking to some writers, I've learned that they often draw inspiration from real-life experiences or current events. Additionally, they collaborate with other writers, brainstorming and bouncing ideas off one another. Sometimes, they even take inspiration from books, movies, or other TV shows, putting their unique spin on it. So, the secret to their creativity is a mix of personal experiences, collaboration, and drawing from various sources.
