Working as a Family - Episode 1.01 - Pilot (Series Premiere)

Working as a Family
1x01 - “Pilot”

Written By:
Jessica Boggs


FADE IN:

EXT. TECHNOLOGY STORE - DAY

Picture this. A technology store in Bel Air. 

There’s a family of five working together: a husband and wife, two daughters, and a son. 

We’ll call them the Ling family.

The oldest son is primed to take the business. 

The daughters however, have other aspirations. 

INT. TECHNOLOGY STORE COUNTER - DAY

Bored behind the counter, we have one of the daughters, Kasey, dazing away from the counter.

Another daughter, Jillian, or Jill for short, walks into the store with a miniskirt.

Kasey then turns towards Jill. 

KASEY
What the hell are you wearing?

JILL
Party clothes. 

From across the aisles, we have Zach witnessing the commotion.

ZACH
Jill, isn’t that out of uniform?

JILL
Relax, we’re a family business. Nothing ever happens to any of us. 

Kasey rolls her eyes.

The patriarch, Brian, exits his office.

He gives a strict glare to Jill. 

Then he heads over to the counter.

BRIAN
Kids, we may be getting some new customers soon. 

KASEY
Dad, that’s awesome. 

BRIAN
The point is that we all need to be courteous and professional. 

Their mother, Jia, enters the store with takeout. 

The bags of takeout were quickly given to Kasey.

Jia then crosses her arms.

JIA
Jillian! Have you no shame?

JILL
Come on, Mom, there’s a party tonight…

JIA
You’re not going. You need to get your grades up before you even think about partying. 

KASEY
She works in the family business too, Mom. 

JIA
I’ve not forgotten. Now go change. 

Jill hangs her head down. 

She exits to the bathroom as soon as Jia hands her a pair of pants. 

EXT. LING HOUSE - EVENING

The Lings’ home sits in the quiet Bel Air neighborhood. 

Lights are on in the first and second floor. 

INT. DINING ROOM - EVENING

Jill scoffs in the middle of the table as everyone else is sitting.

JILL
Was this even necessary?

Kasey and Zach look at each other while attempting to eat the Asian takeout dinner. 

Kasey then looks at Jill.

KASEY
Let me ask you this. Is that party really important?

JILL
Don’t even start. 

Jia then stands up. 

Brian is taking his finished plate over to the kitchen along with Jia’s.

JIA
What did I say about the party?

JILL
Grades. 

Jill shrugs. 

On the next Working as a Family, the tutoring begins for Jill.

TVRGO March News Day (UPDATED)

UPDATE: This post has been updated to reflect changes in scheduling for some shows due to Major League Baseball’s compliance with the coronavirus pandemic. That’s right, it’s not just regular TV shows that are being affected.

Another month means another news day for TVRGO. Here are some updates on our TVRGO schedule:

The Bullpen
Originally scheduled to premiere on Saturday, April 4, the season 3 premiere of The Bullpen has now been pushed back indefinitely. The season was supposed to be in part a parody of recent baseball events, which can’t be done if baseball is not being played.

We plan on premiering Season 3 of The Bullpen around the time the MLB returns with their regular season. That is speculated to be early June, but could change.

Bar Exam
We hope to be able to bring The Bullpen’s spinoff, Bar Exam, back for a Season 2. This will depend on when the MLB season starts, and if we have scheduling space at that time. The sooner the season starts, the better the prospects are for a Season 2. It will likely be less than the 13 episode Season 1 order, but that shouldn’t be taken as a sign that it gets weak page views. We plan on aligning its schedule with the baseball season since Season 2 is to have more focus on it being baseball season.

Put Me In

Put Me In, our latest baseball series, is now slated to premiere on Saturday, April 4. Put Me In is a comedy that follows Carter Danderson, a brand new relief pitcher for the fictional Philadelphia Pioneers. When the team’s star pitcher is horribly injured, Carter is added to the starting rotation. Carter isn’t used to all of the fame, but he’s glad to be in the spotlight.

An episode order has yet to be determined for the show.

Backdoor Pilot for Working As A Family

Working As A Family’s backdoor pilot will be published on Tuesday, March 17 and double up as Season 2, Episode 20 of Writer’s Block. As previously announced, Working As A Family will premiere in the summer.

Finales
Bake Your Heart Out’s first season finale will be on Thursday, March 19. It has already been renewed for a second season to air in the summer.

Finally Back Home will wrap up its first season on Friday, March 13. No decision has been made as to if a second season will happen.

Network will wrap up its third season on Sunday, March 29. It has already been renewed for a fourth season.

Bar Exam will conclude its first season on Friday, March 28. As with Finally Back Home, no decision has been made as to its future.

Premieres
Our House will return for the remainder of its second season on Thursday, March 26.


Finally Growing Up premieres Friday, March 20. The show is a spinoff of Finally Together. Finally Growing Up will follow the characters of Chris, Drew, and Julian, three brothers who are left on their own after a sudden turn of events and must figure out how to live life without living with their parents.

The Bullpen will begin its third season on Saturday, April 4.
