What's the difference between television and film screenplay format?

If you are converting a script for an existing TV show it is very important for you to get a sample of one of the show's current scripts and, or their 'Bible' which is a guideline for how to write for the show. If there are no such things then I will just make these suggestions: A film format is typically (but not always) 120 pages which translates to 90 minutes of running time. A TV script's length also has 1 minute = 1 page but the order and structure is different due to TV commercial breaks. There is usually a suspenseful moment just before the TV breaks to get the audience to come back to the show. There's also often a 'teaser' before the start of the show which introduces the show and gets people to stick around to watch past the openning credits.
