2 Stuff I ve Gotten Paid to Write EPISODIC TELEVISION Written /2 hours Story Edited /2 hours FEATURES & TV MOVIES 7 Family Features 5 Animated Features 4 Action Features 4 Comedy Features 1 Sci-Fi Action Feature 3 Family TV Movies 2 Drama TV Movies 1 Action TV Movie 1 Comedy TV Movie 1 Action/Fantasy Miniseries 1 Western Miniseries 1 Sci-Fi Miniseries 1 Million Dollar Spec Screenplay 1 Zombie Western TV Movie
3 The Big Hole In My Resume: NO 1 HOUR DRAMA
4 So I plugged the hole.
5 Three Questions: Pilot or Spec? Episodic or Serial? Broadcast or Cable?
6 Why a Pilot (and not a Spec?) 1.Excellent TV Sample without pigeonholing 2.Not just a TV Sample 3.Shorter 4.It s all you. 5.It s always pilot season 6.You might just sell it
7 Why Episodic (and not serial?) 1.Easier to pitch the series (you re pitching episodes and not complex arcs) 2.Pilot script can be a typical episode and not an origin episode. 3.Easier to syndicate for broadcasters 4.Less headaches for producers
8 Why Cable (and not broadcast?) 1.Edgier material (makes it more memorable) 2.More buyers. 3.More liberating to write, take more chances. 4.Advertisers are migrating to cable (however 48 of the top 50 scripted shows are still on broadcast)
9 The Smart Plan? Write a one hour pilot for an EDGY, EPISODIC pay-cable show that COULD be toned down for broadcast!
10 Step #1: Know Your Show 1.What genre is your show? Medical, legal, police, political, etc. 2.Is it cable or broadcast? 3.What format is it? Episodic or serial? 4.How do you get 100 episodes?
11 How Do You Get to 100 Episodes? People watch shows about people, not shows about concepts. Intriguing people + interesting concept = YOUR SERIES
12 Step #2: Know Your Characters Who is your Hero? Who are your supporting characters?
13 Your Hero Must Be Empathetic 1. Hero is strong, the best at something 2. Hero suffered or suffers undeserved misfortune. 3. Hero pets the dog (Hero is nice to animals, kids, or old people). 4. Hero is quirky and/or cool.
14 Your Supporting Characters Must Be DISTINCT Tony: Well, I told you about the Brains, I told you about the Guts, I told you about the Muscle, the Scientist, the Politician, the Leader, I told you about every member of the team, except myself, the part I play. Saleem: Which is? Tony: I'm the Wild Card. NCIS - Season 7, Ep 1 Truth or Consequences written by Jesse Stern

17 Step #3: Know Your Structure Series Season Episode
18 Your Series, Seasons, and Episodes are defined by: The Four Archetypes Orphan Wanderer Warrior Martyr
19 The Four Archetypes 1. Orphan 2. Wanderer 3. Warrior 4. Martyr Hero is a real or figurative Orphan Hero sets out on a journey to resolve Central Question Hero fights unsuccessfully to resolve Central Question Hero must be willing to sacrifice self to resolve Central Question
20 The Central Question is the question that, once it s answered definitively yes or no, the episode, season, or series is over.
21 The Four Archetypes SERIES Orphan Wanderer Warrior Martyr SEASON SEASON Orphan Wanderer Warrior Martyr Orphan Wanderer Warrior Martyr EP 1 EP 2 EP 3 EP 4 EP 5... EP 1 EP 2 EP 3 EP 4 EP 5...
22 Step #4: Know Your Series Pitch. Decode your series with the TV QuickPitch.
23 The TV QuickPitch Formula A flawed or broken person whose life is governed/haunted/plagued by a ghost from the past finds himself or herself involved in an ongoing mission/journey/job only to discover a surprising twist/proficiency that will, with effort and sacrifice, help resolve the ghost from the past.
24 The TV QuickPitch Formula With the Four Archetypes A flawed or broken person whose life is governed/haunted/plagued by a ghost from the past (ORPHAN) finds himself or herself involved in an ongoing mission/journey/job (WANDERER) only to discover a surprising twist/proficiency (WARRIOR) that will, with effort and sacrifice, help resolve the ghost from the past (MARTYR).
25 The TV QuickPitch Formula With the Four Archetypes An absentee father whose life is plagued by mistakes (ORPHAN) finds himself sent back in time at random intervals (WANDERER), only to discover he s been sent on a mission to protect the world (WARRIOR), and along the way will be given the opportunity to correct the ills of his past (MARTYR).
26 The TV QuickPitch Formula With the Four Archetypes An aggressive CIA agent whose life is plagued by bipolar disorder finds herself trying to prove that a war hero is actually a terrorist (ORPHAN) only to discover that the only way to prove it is to get close to him which she does (WANDERER). She is surprised when she develops feelings for him, and now lives a double-life caught between her emotions and her desire to discover the truth (WARRIOR) and is ultimately willing to risk her career to both protect him and stop the impending attack. (MARTYR).

35 The Big Secret (not for the faint of heart) Write something unproduceable. Make it the most extreme expression of whatever it is. What piece of ground do you stand on that nobody else stands on? Write about that. Carl Reiner
36 Pre-Write Checklist Is my concept original? Have I done my research? Is my Hero sympathetic? Are there a critical mass of interesting, supporting characters? Are the characters connected through the Unity of Opposites. Do I have a clear Central Question for the series? The season? The pilot? Can I pitch the series quickly and cleanly with the Four Archetypes? Have I role-modeled a successful show?
