Quoted from Murphy Sorry Shelton I have to take the star back from you and give it to Tierney_Cat!

Oh yeah?  Try this one!

Nice try!

Think you and Tierney_Cat will have to wrestle for the star - i only have one to give.

Star?  I thought you were giving away the doll in your avatar.

I'm officially withdrawing from the gold star giving extravaganza.

Who knew stars were so worthless these days.  Don't tell the agencies.

I could go into painful detail about the strange world of timing for television.  I won't go too deep but it has do with filming primarily on standing sets and the number of people you have on screen at any given time.  If it's something like CSI you have a huge cast and  five or six people with speaking parts in every other scene.  You gain a lot of pages if you keep breaking with character - dialogue, character - dialogue, etc.  The same is true of South Park which has a lot of speaking parts and the characters live in groups.

Double-spacing only applies to traditional three-camera sitcoms shot in front of a studio audience.  There aren't many of them left these days.  Single-camera sitcoms like My Name is Earl or The Office are the norm and they are formatted like hour-longs or features.

I always thought that the South Park Episode Scripts were so long, was the fact that the show mainly consists of dialog?

And then you get shows like NewsRadio, which, according to the commentaries, ran 60 pages and they cut the scenes after shooting.

Though I may have misheard.
