Script-of-the-Week: Simpsons “Dacin’ Homer”

by Kevin Levine & David Isaacs(53 pages)

Awards: None that I could find.

Points of Interest:

• Pacing: Good. Episode starts with arriving at a baseball game, preliminaries of standard games and then the game itself. Act One ends with Homer being offered the job as team mascot.

• Screen Visibility: Minimal description of surroundings except when specifically linked to jokes.

• Formatting: A fair amount of description is used to direct the camera.

• Dialogue: Original and funny. There is a fair amount of Ad Lib dialogue peppered in the action category.

• Action: Extended montage sequence from A - Q.

• Act Structure: Act One, Act Two, Act Three. Approximately 60 scenes.

Note: The episode that aired had quite a few differences from the written script. It seems most of the changes were made for brevity.
