Hey, I'm trying to write a pilot and possibly a season for a sitcom style comedy, but there is a lot I don't know about how the basic formula works, what scenes go where, how does the plot progressions normally go, how short can I make it, etc.
So basically I'm just asking if anybody knows of any good books written by sitcom writers that go over how everything normally works. Or even online resources where people have shared their experiences.
Currently I'm just going threw watching a lot of the more current single camera comedies. But deconstructing those only get you so far, and i don't want to write something that overly mimics a show in particular.
