Script-of-the-Week: Ally McBeal “Ally McBeal” Pilot Episode

by David E. Kelley (46 pages)


Awards: None that I could find


Points of Interest:

  • Pacing: Quick.
  • Screen Visibility: Minimal, which is standard for a TV series.
  • Formatting: Somewhat standard formatting with some action lines describing Ally’s thinking.
  • Act Structure: Act I, Act II, Act III, Act IV

Note: For a pilot episode, the initial character development is quite sparse demonstrating an effective lack of need for lengthy development.
