I was just told today that the whole page per minute thing doesn't apply to TV. True? Is it even within the same range? If not, short of getting my hands on an actual script from a show, how am I supposed to spec it?

Well, you should be getting your hands on an actual script. I've blogged here and here about how to get actual copies of scripts.

On Charlie Jade our scripts were supposed to come in around 54 pages for about 41 minutes of show. I've seen West Wing scripts at 67 pages, and I'm told that Gilmore Girls scripts can get into the 70's. Depends on the show.

I've always wondered what a John Woo script looks like.
