Thread: Pilot Episode help.

Me and a friend of mine are planning to do a TV show (for fun) based on a super-villian, related to how Warner have portrayed the early years of Superman in 'Smallville'. However, writing the pilot is holding some difficulty, and I was wondering whether there were certain things needed to be in a pilot, such as character introduction etc.
Any necessities?

If you need any more info. feel free to ask.

There is no reason for him to reel out his plot in order to get information, and he'd be stupid to.

This isn't the place to get info like that. Try tvwriter.com and note the formats and read some winners of the Peoples Pilot Contest.

TV shows aren't like movies. They are creating a sort of "family" that people know and are comfortable around. It's HIGHLY important to establish the character constellation in the pilot, along with the setting and perhaps a hint of the series arc.

Thanks for the advice Lin, as-well as the link.
