Script-of-the-Week: 3rd Rock From the Sun: Life As We Know It - Pilot

by Bonnie Turner and Terry Turner (62 pages)

Awards: None that I could find.

Points of Interest:

• Pacing: Introduction to main characters is somewhat seamless and done within a few lines of dialogue.

• Screen Visibility: Minimal but enough to get a feel for the normalcy of the set.

• Formatting: Action is capitalized and all dialogue is double spaced.

• Dialogue: Even though individual characters have several sentences of dialogue at once, it goes quickly.

• Action: The action is not directed on the page.

• Act Structure: Cold Opening, Scene 2. Act One, Scene 1, Scene 2, Scene 3, Scene 4, Scene 5, Scene 6. Act 2, Scene 1, Scene 2, Scene 3. Tag.
