in the episode guides. On a given episode's page, do a search

have differences between one draft of the script and the transcript.

![[The Daily Script]](gifs/dailyscript.gif){kind=small}

![[Yep, that's right. We're non-fiction!]](gifs/newsmuppets.gif)
Politically Incorrect: http://abc.abcnews.go.com/primetime/politicallyincorrect/index.html — Click "transcripts" for recent transcripts.
| "Don't go away!" |
Terminology: people tend to call transcripts "scripts." Search for both words. Further, people tend to call transcripts "real scripts," and they call spec scripts and joke scripts: "fake scripts." Actual original shooting scripts are rare. More terminology: "TOW" means "The One Where" or "The One With." It's often used when an episode title is unknown.
Many transcripts are in text file format. To get back to the page you were viewing previously, use ALT + Left Arrow (or, in Lynx, use Left Arrow alone).
