25.06.2025 16:55 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0For a sitcom bible, is it mostly just future episode ideas since thereβs no big arc? I like my pilot but feel stuck finishing the bible. I read the Scrubs one and still feel kinda lost. Not sure if thereβs enough to build from cause there no deep meaning just silly stuff #scriptsky
