Yesterday I managed to get quite a lot of spec script work done. I know I do the right thing in outlining ahead of time but there's one thing I really still suck at: budgeting pages. What I think a scene on the outline will probably take in pages and what it does in reality aren't matching up so fluidly. Looking at my outline I thought I might end up having to cut parts for time but it looks like I'm going to be adding more instead. But the outline I started with is more than 1/2 written now. Progress is nice!
I wish I could find a complete Bones teleplay online so I could check their format better. I can find transcripts, which are useless to me, and I can find the 'sides' that leak out every time they audition a guest-star but those are usually 1-3 pages only. I'd love to be able to go through an old episode and break down scenes, pages per, formatting - everything. Not even Ebay is helping!

If you find such a script, please, let me know. They're more elusive than the Holy Grail.
I've found them for many other shows, just not Bones.
