The Office
When trying to get into the world of television, a writer must create what Hollywood calls a “spec script.” This script demonstrates your writing talents for a popular show that already exists and helps those hiring to gauge the quality of your work according to how well you represent the characters and tone for that particular show. If you can accomplish that task, then you most likely can work with a group of writers and aid in giving any show a single collective feel opposed to every episode sounding different depending on the writer.
For my first spec TV script, I have chosen to create an episode of the popular NBC show “The Office,” which takes place during the show’s fourth season between episodes 14 (“Chair Model”) and 15 (“Night Out”). The episode is entitled…
“Career Day” – When Phyllis is called away on an emergency sales meeting, Michael volunteers to take her place at an elementary school “Career Day.” This brings Dunder Mifflin’s boss back to his alma mater and to memories he had long since tried to forget. Also, Jim seeks to find the perfect restaurant for a date with Pam and everyone in the office seems to have an opinion on where they should go.
To all those legal departments out there, I hold no copyright to the characters or locations, which are owned by NBC and their parent company, nor do I expect to make money off this script. This is simply a testament to my writing style, which hopefully can gain the interest of people in the industry.
