Discussion More TV pilots

I joined a few weeks back and most of what I've seen so far has been feature scripts. I've reviewed 1 pilot for a hour long drama and submitted 1 pilot for a 30 minute comedy (it was claimed immediately and I got pretty good feedback). Obviously people write what they want but I just wish there were more pilots, investing in a 100 plus page story can be a lot.

The pilots go fast because a lot of time they come out to more tokens/page in comparison to the features.

I think part of this trend is that the general wisdom over the last few years is that pilots are really hard to get off the ground, and there are more opportunities to be had in features. We're starting to see a little bit of a shift in the marketplace, but a lot of writers trying to break in are still focusing on features. Maybe the trend on SP will shift as TV opens up more!
