Script-of-the-Week: Married...With Children “The Stepford Bundy”

by Michael J. Prescott (48 pages)


Awards: None that I could find.


Points of Interest:

  • Pacing: Quick in the beginning but slows down near the end.
  • Screen Visibility: Minimal as is normal for TV scripts.
  • Formatting: Quite standard with generous double spacing for characters and dialogue and single space ALL CAPS for action. Specific screen direction in parentheses.
  • Dialogue: Euphemistic dirty jokes in the first couple of lines that continue throughout.
  • Action: Action lines contain only the minimal amount of information required for the scene.
  • Act Structure: Act One, Scene One. Act Two(typo), Scene Two. Act One, Scene Three. Act One, Scene Four. Act Two, Scene One. Act Two, Scene Two. Act Two, Scene Three.
