What it does

Half-hour television comedy craft (半小时情景喜剧/笑点力学/困境机器/多机位单机位格式), merged from Evan S. Smith's Writing Television Sitcoms (premise-driven comedy in three levels, nine predicaments, six character mixes, setup/punchline mechanics, toppers, running gags, ten comedic nuances, format rules), Neil Landau's sitcom seven-step formula and comedy-room models, Richard Blum's act-length and set-count parameters, Phoebe Waller-Bridge's Fleabag scripts (direct address as a season-long device, six-episode skeleton), Pamela Douglas on dramedy, Kam Miller on complementary comic traits, and Jesse Armstrong on jokes carrying tragedy. Use when writing or fixing a sitcom episode or spec, raising joke density per page, designing a comic predicament that generates stories, choosing between multi-camera and single-camera format and page counts, structuring cold open/acts/tag, writing a half-hour pilot, running a comedy punch-up, or making a drama funny without shifting genre.

半小时喜剧(Sitcom & Half-Hour Comedy)

输出语言=提问语言;术语一律锚回原词,见 sw-workflow/terms.md,不自创译名。

核心命题:好笑不是后期往台词里塞的,是从故事前提里长出来的。 喜剧作者在三层上叠加张力, , premise → sequence/scene → dialogue/action;种在前一层的喜剧会在后一层"自动产出更多、更大、更无缝的笑"(Smith《Writing Television Sitcoms》p0042)。所以第一个动作不是想笑话,是问"这个前提本身是不是一台 joke-producing machine"。

写半小时剧不是把一小时剧的参数改小,而是整体切换:页数、排版、场数、笑点密度、结构单位、人物关系的运转逻辑一起换。本 skill 管这套切换。通用方法不重写, , 对白见 sw-dialogue,场景价值转折见 sw-scene-craft,一小时剧幕结构与 act out 类型学见 sw-series-structure,引擎与 bible 见 sw-series-engine-bible,编剧室全貌见 sw-writers-room,Fleabag 逐集表见 sw-series-case-studies。

格式规范、笑点技法目录与结构模板见同目录 reference.md。

  • Smith《Writing Television Sitcoms》(Revised & Expanded, 2009)给全部骨架:三层法、九 predicament、六 character mix、笑话力学、beat 数与三幕页数、三套格式(Appendix A 按字符位给边距)、pilot 与 series format。本 skill 的编号体系基本是他的。
  • Landau《The TV Showrunner's Roadmap》1e Tip 21 给公式与页数表(七步公式、"恶狗追上树"、多机页数分配、多机 vs 单机差异);2e 第 13 章给喜剧编剧室(四种房间模型、alts 与 candy bag、table read 的功能之争)。
  • Blum《电视与银幕写作》第 11, 12 章给制作约束:teaser/幕/tag 分钟数、多机格式规则、布景 3 个理想 5 个上限、一周拍摄计划。
  • Waller-Bridge《Fleabag: The Scriptures》给装置喜剧与六集季骨架;Douglas《Writing the TV Drama Series》3e 的 Dramedy 专题给边界;Miller《...And the Hero Succeeds》给 complementary traits;Armstrong《Succession》剧本集给"喜剧承载悲剧"。
