Don't Get It

Television Scripts

With another uneventful evening ahead of you, you grab a cola and switch on the television. After inaccurately answering the questions posed on Wer wird Millionär? , Germany’s version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? , you long for the days when you knew what Phoebe, Ross, Joey and the gang were up to. Having moved to Munich, you never did get to see the season finale of Seinfeld . You may not own a satellite dish, but you can catch up with all your TV and movie favorites by visiting any one of a number of Web sites that offer you the chance to read the scripts. At zzippeddskripptzz.com, you will find movie, TV and foreign film scripts as well as screenplays, all of which can be downloaded as a zip file and printed for later reading. Visit www.script-o-rama.com for a lengthy list of TV and soap opera scripts. Science Fiction/Fantasy fans will drool over scifiscripts.nam2host.com, where the genres are not only represented by movie scripts and television series transcripts, but visitors have the chance to read early drafts, unused drafts and rejected scripts for famous films. Another fine source for getting your TV fix is www.simplyscripts.com, where you can also read old radio scripts, anime scripts and lines for shows that never made it into production. Finally, if the last time you saw an episode of Friends , Chandler and Monica were not yet an item, you have a lot of catching up to do. Visit www.thecfsi.com—the site’s Web masters call it “the one with the scripts”—and read all eight seasons of the popular series. It may not be colorful and flicker, but, in your mind’s eye, you’ll be watching your shows.
