SimplyScripts Screenwriting Discussion Board  /  Questions or Comments  /  A decision regarding TV pilots
Posted by: Josh, June 29th, 2014, 7:24pm
Hey all! I'm taking part in two projects, one being the SCREDDIT ATTACK on the screenwriting subreddit where you have to write a certain number of pages or scripts to be eligible, and I also have a blog where I've challenged myself to write at least 90 pages every month.

Because of this, I think I'm going to try to write three comedy TV pilots. What would you do, work on three different pilots, or three episodes of the same series?

Hey Josh,

Good luck with it make.

I am probably in two minds over this !!!! If you write 3 episodes of a series then the character development will be better as you would have put more time and effort into developing them though on the other hand three great pilot will increase your chances of going anywhere with at least one of them as you may gain more exposure.

If you have the ideas for 3 different series in mind, I would probably run with that.

Good luck.

I've got a pretty solidly laid out idea for one, but I only have one other idea which is pretty shaky and I can't be sure if it would be smart to go ahead with it. No clue what I would do for the 3rd. I'm definitely starting to lean to the 3 different pilots, though.

Hey Josh,

I would have to say get the first one written, then develop the second and take it from there.

If the second doesn't develop as nicely as you would like it to, and the third one comes into fruition then continue with the first.

Good luck.

Alex
