First off I’d like to say it is refreshing to see other series being brought online, with that said nothing contained within my review is meant to insult, demoralize or affect your choices. I am simply acting as your audience for today and I hope I can be of some help to you.

Now with the pleasantries out of the way I would like to start off by asking where the rest of the script is. 10 pages is not a screenplay or a series, it’s a short, just so you know.

Where is your format and you wonder why people haven't read it? You don’t have to write daytime and it should be capitalized, it’s just DAY because give the readers credit they’re not stupid to think day was anything else than when that shiny thing is out.

Where are the capitalized names or the description of your characters? I can’t see how you expect us to like them if you don’t take the time to allow us to know them. Is Alec a she, or did you mess up somewhere because you wrote she sets the plate down which leads me to thinking that Alec is a girl with a guys name or a she-man or Transsexual whatever you wanna call it.

Okay and they have a parentheticals almost every sentence, how can (Too bad) be a parenthetical? Is Alec gay or is he supposed to come off that way or what?

I’m sorry I seem to have nothing nice to say about this screenplay, it’s disappointing and at the same time has potential. You need to do some work though because the episodes are 10 pages they should be in a section of there own or shorts.

Overall I am confused to where or what the message here was, did you think about extending it to length. I don’t want to sound like a bad guy or portray myself that way but really there is no other way to say this.

Work on your formatting, dialogue, character descriptions and those very general and yet important things and I believe you will get better and in the future you can make this a great series.

I’m sorry if I didn’t help, I tried with what I was given.

I believe Alec IS a boy.

***SPOILERS***

Just like Wes, I had the same problems with the names and format. And sometimes the dialogue was real cheesy. In fact there was a moment in Ep. 2, where it seemed like you were steoro typing Alec a bit with a certain a line of dialogue. "Girl, they out."

I also felt that some of the plotlines were very interesting and different (Alec's love interest in Ep. 1) and some were old TV cliches (selling lemonade in Ep. 1; the brothers hating each, then liking each other after one saves the other from a problem, in Ep. 2)

A lot of these plots and certain scenes seem like something from "7th Heaven" or "Full House"

I think this would be an interesting show if you made the episodes longer, fix your dialogue a bit, and have more character development (especially on Alec's two friends.)

I'll get on reading Ep. 3 right now.

I read all three scripts and i liked the story line but i think it moved too fast and each ending was so "hallmark". it should of had a cliffhanger to keep the reader wanting more.

I agree. It seems as though people would only read past Episode 1 if they liked it. The pilot is supposed to be the hook, but I have to say, it was the dullest of the three. Although, Episode 2 was funny.

I just read episode 4, and I really liked it. Y'know, I know now what the problem with the show is. I like the episodes, and the scripts are really good, but they're too short! If you want, Chris, I can write some more scenes for you.

Alec McDermott is probably going to have 4 seasons. The episodes in the rest of this season are going to be in a different format, and longer than the episodes that i posted at first (Episode 1,2,3 and 4). I had a big problem with Episode 5, so i couldn't post it. Therefore, i'm skipping episode 5, and moving on to Episode 6. Episode 6, as you will notice, will be longer (27 pages) than before. I've got some new very hilarous episodes coming up, starting with Episode 6. Season 1 is going to have 9 or 10 episodes. Throughout the four seasons you're going to watch Alec, Megan, Matt, and Phil grow, and if i can, i'm going to go over 4 seasons. And move on to season 5, when Alec is going to be in college. If you have any questions, or do not understand this series, let me know. Post a reply on here. Thank you.

That's cool. I wouldn't expect the show to do that, with the first 2 or 3 episodes, but I guess anything's possible. I think it's great that you're making them longer. But, do you want me to write some more scenes for Eps 1-4?

If you want to go ahead and write scenes for my script, i give you permission to do so. But just episode 1-4. And that's it for now. Thank you for trying to help me.

Thankyou so much. However, I was actually just gonna do episodes 1-4. Those are the only ones you sent in. Besides, it doesn't sound like you need much help. 27 pages! God! I already know this show can go places. Thanks.

how old are you, DOM? I don't mean to be personal, it's just you seem really interested in my show. And i just wanted to know. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to.

I don't mind. I'm fifteen. Can I ask why? To be honest, I don't see why it matters.

it doesn't matter. I was just curious. i'm glad you like my script, and thank you for adding scenes to my scripts. Thanks. I'm only two years older than you.

Wow. It's hard to believe someone who's only a bit older than me (sorry if that sounds patronizing) can write something as great as this.

Judjing by the summary from Ep. 5, is Ep. 6 Part Two or something?
