So I'm about to start writing a spec for "The West Wing" and in doing my research on the show I was trying to get a hold of an actual script from the show to check formatting, character and location names, etc.. It took me a week and a lot of driving to finally get a hold of a copy, but it was well worth my efforts.
"The West Wing" is no joke! Their scripts have no action-- or barely any action. It's all dialogue. And when I say all dialogue, I mean all dialogue! I have "Frasier" scripts with more action than TWW... and compare that to action heavy "Law & Order" and you'll see how valuable it is to have an actual script from the show.
So here's what I'm thinking... There needs to be a site where you can view actual pages from TV scripts. What do you think? Would you find it helpful if you could download or view a few pages from a show you want to spec?
If so I can create some PDF files of some scripts that I have. Maybe the first few pages/cold open/teaser with a character list and location list.
Anybody interested?
Here is a list of potential shows:
THE WEST WING
LAW & ORDER
JAG
FRASIER
JUST SHOOT ME
SCRUBS
JEREMIAH (Pilot Ep)
NYPD BLUE
