How to Write TV Series Bibles

UPDATED: July 2014 - new links! Check out B2W Resources for more

There are TV pilot scripts flying all over the place it seems. And a helluva lot of them, perhaps as much as 50%, are good I reckon. This is interesting to me, because I would still venture that only about a maximum of 20% of features in the spec pile are good in contrast. Perhaps it's page count that daunts writers; perhaps it's the necessity to "simplify" movie plots (in comparison to TV series, which can be more convoluted?); or perhaps it's because people watch more TV than films?

Yet how do you "stand out" from the rest of 'em? Well, for me, that's a no-brainer: you write a rocking spec series bible*. I read a lot of these too now for people and I have to say - as good as many of those good TV spec pilots flying about are, a whacking 95% of 'em are let down by their series bible.
