Hour long scripts for TV shows a Question?

[JrMissToughChick]

I just wanted to know how many pages and what Font Size are used in an 44 minute hour long TV drama? I know somone here has got to know... also same question but for a 90 or so minute movie?


Thanks in advance

Industry standard is 12 point Courier font.

Length: One page of script usually averages out to a little less than one minute, so most scripts for an hour-long television show (with commercials) average around 53-60 pages. But that varies on content -- dialogue runs faster than dense blocks of action. This is just the average.

About 60 pages. A 4-5 page "teaser" before the credits, followed by 5 acts, usually with a "fade out" after each act (where they insert the commercial). I'm pretty sure all scripts use Courier font, and I think its 12 point.

OK, like my page hadn't refreashed, so I didn't know Blackthorn already answered - but with two identical answers, at least you know its good information.

Hehe. Great minds!
