Without a doubt, writing and composing are my two favorite activities.

So, here is a partial list of what I've written for TV and film in the last 35 years (you'll note a distinct difference in quality the further back you go). While some of my stage work has been produced, none of my TV or film scripts have been sold. (Although I have a great number of "close call" stories).

Some of these scripts are downloadable (*) in PDF format. You can read them using Adobe Acrobat Reader (free to everyone, click here to download Acrobat).

Just a reminder: placing these scripts on my website does not constitute placing them in the public domain. They are copyrighted materials here for your reading enjoyment only. You may not alter them nor post them on any other website. Authorship and copyright information may not be removed from them.
