Doesn't anyone know how to do their own work anymore? Asking for a template for a TV commercial script is like asking, "Does anyone know how Budweiser writes their award winning commercials?"

Go to a PR class or an advertising class to get some background and then realize, there IS NO TEMPLATE for a successful commercial.

Look on any commercial web site such as ABC, NBC, CNN and others. There usually
is a 30 second spot. At least it will give you some ideas. ESPN would be
another.

I'd almost be willing to bet there's no template for an unsuccessful one
either. ;-)

I think what *ruell chappell* wants is not a template for good (or bad)
TV commercial scripts, but one for the document itself, like there are
some for letters, CVs, etc.

I found this page that maybe can help you:

http://www.cybercollege.com/commerc.htm

Following that sample and using a word processor, like MS Word, you can
create a table starting with two columns and two rows and write *Video*
in the left column and *Audio* in the right column, both in the first
row.

Then you can add as many rows as you need for the entire script.

If you need or want, put a header before the table, for identifying
purposes (client, product, etc.)

Save it as a template for your word processor, so you can call it from
the *File > New* menu whenever you need.

BTW, that's the template I myself use every day. Check the image.

I'd just like to apologize for the level of douchebagness in these responses. This is what ruins the experience of working in the tv and film industry and why I choose to work for myself. With that said, with a good google search you should be able to find what you are looking for. Just try a number of different word search combinations.
