SCENE SET CAST








Under SCENE, acts (the block of scenes between commercials) are listed numerically, with different scenes within that act broken down alphabetically. "3B" would be the second scene in the third act. The first act is known as the "teaser" and is noted with a T, instead of a number.

A list of acts might look like one of the following:
1) Prologue, 1st Commercial, ACT I, 2nd Commercial, ACT II, 3rd & 4th Commercial, ACT III, 5th Commercial, ACT IV, 6th Commercial.
2) TA, TB, 1A, 2A, 2B, 3A, 4A, 4B, 4C, 5A, 6A.

Under SET is listed the set to be used for the scene, along with the time of day. For example: CORY LIVING ROOM/DAY; RACHEL'S BEDROOM/DAY; CORY LIVING ROOM W/TERRACE/DAY; CORY LIVING ROOM W/FOYER AND TERRACE/DAY; CORY CHAPEL/DAY.

Under CAST is listed the characters appearing in that particular scene, in no particular order. "Under five's" (actors with under five lines to speak) are listed last as (U/5).

Within the body of the script, the text is centered and in all-caps, with dialogue in regular case. Along the top, at the left there is the episode number, e.g. "AW#8395," and along the right, segment/scene/page, e.g. "2-B-18."

Each scene opens with a paragraph describing the scene, for example:
RACHEL'S BEDROOM/DAY. PAULINA, AMANDA, ALLI AND FELICIA ARE SURROUNDED BY TISSUE PAPER, AS AMANDA UNPACKS AN ANTIQUE CHRISTENING DRESS. FELICIA HOLDS A PAIR OF BABY SHOES, AND ALLI HAS A LACE BONNET. [NOTE: THERE ARE TWO CRADLES IN THE ROOM, BUT THEY ARE EMPTY AT THIS POINT]

NBC Production Tag:
Off Air: Time Stamp

Notes: AW aired via live broadcast from May 4, 1964 - May 23, 1967. Therefore, timing was essential and necessary dialogue cuts were made to ensure that the show ran within its alloted time period. Many pages within the body of the scripts have handwritten time designations, which supplemented the "Show Routine Page."


Promotional Sheets:

Example (from September 1966)
Production Company: Young & Rubicam, Inc.
Date: Thursday, September 15th
Body: "THE BOSTON HERALD SAYS 'THE HERO' IS ONE OF THE FUNNIEST TELEVISION SHOWS OF THE NEW SEASON. WHY NOT JOIN 'THE HERO' AND HIS COMIC ESCAPADES TONIGHT AT 9:30...8:30, CENTRAL TIME...ON THE FULL COLOR NETWORK....N.B.C."

"AND NOW STAY TUNED FOR 'YOU DON'T SAY.'"

Notes: These announcement encompassed not only television promotions, but special programming such as news coverage on political events and the space program. The end of scripts included pages for Film Routines and Time Sheets. These helped the crew determine when full-length crawls could be utilized when, in some cases, the program was short by a certain amount of time.
