Television Scripts on the Net
To our knowledge there are no notable sites that have a wide and varied selection of television scripts. We recommend using Yahoo! or Google, typing in the title of the show from which you’re looking to find a script, and pick one of the “fan” sites that offer scripts. Many fan sites have extensive libraries of scripts from the show to which they’re dedicated.
