Well as aspiring WRITER, I thought I might post something of my past work...here...exclsievly...a bit from my Simpsons script. --------------------------------------------------- Scene 19. Int. Springfield Convention Centre. Cat Show. Large crowd of Springfielders and their cats. A sign reads: ‘Pilgrim Sisters Cat Championship. Sponsored by CutieCat Pet Food. Also proud suppliers of USMC Meals Ready to Eat. Simpson family – Lisa carrying Snowball - arrive at registration desk manned by Lindsay Nagle. LINDSAY: ‘Welcome Simpsons. Are you entering or just viewing? You can enter in one of two categories; Breeding or Talent. HOMER: ‘We’re screwed. See you at the buffet Homer zips off. LISA; ‘Let’s enter. Mom, can we? MARGE: ‘We’ll see. Hello, Miss Nagle. I didn’t know you were interested in cats. LINDSAY ‘As a thirty-something female career professional living alone, I have twenty-three. Speaking of children, shouldn’t there be a little boy…? MARGE ‘Ummmm, actually Bart’s Saturday mornings are given over to his, er, Meditation Classes’. Scene 20: Ext. Springield Elementary Door shows sign: ‘Detention’. Scene 21: Int. Springfield Elmentary. Detenion Classroom Principal Skinner and Mrs. Krabappel usher in the kids. SKINNER: 'Sherry, get in here. You were almost late for your three hour detention'. TERRY: 'I'm Terry. Sherry's sick and asked me to tell you she couldn't come'. SKINNER; 'Well, as an identical twin you’ll be used to finishing her sentences. Sit down’. TERRY: ‘No, Prin...' SKINNER; 'Don't talk back, young lady. Pay your sister back later by seducing her husband and stealing her life'. Bart enters. BART; ‘My usual booth, Seymour. Not too near the band. (STUFFS DOLLAR IN SINNER’S TOP POCKET AND PUTS HIS FINGER OVER SKINNER’S MOUTH). ‘ No, don’t say a word… You’re money'. SKINNER (AS BART SITS DOWN): ‘Oh Bart, when will you learn that a free-spending young person with a smart mouth just doesn’t get far in Martha Stewart |

That first couple of hundred words gave me a couple of laughs, it's one of the better Simpsons spec scripts I've read. I think a lot of scripts fall into the realm of fanboyism, bringing back old and underused characters (not very well I might add) I think the key is trying to emulate the style the show has now, and you seem to be doing this pretty well so far. The trouble with writing a Simpsons script is that it is basically you vs. 10 of America's funniest men, and your'e never going to win. |

if you really did write this, Captain Copy/Paste, you don't seem to have a good grasp on the characters. for example: SKINNER; 'Don't talk back, young lady. Pay your sister back later by seducing her husband and stealing her life'. Skinner wouldn't make a comment like that - alluding to sex to one of the students. he's much too proper for that. |

How did you write "Snowball" back into the show since that character has been dead before the series began? |
