Just Howlin’ Around – A Sitcom Pilot

Posted on August 31, 2023August 31, 2023 by Charles Peacock

Open with an interior view of a suburban house. We see the kitchen and dining room table separated by a countertop. A staircase to the second story of the house is in the background. ANGELA is in the kitchen preparing breakfast. GAVIN is seated at the table looking at his phone eating breakfast. 

OWEN walks into the kitchen looking tired, grabs a glass of orange juice from the fridge and a plate before walking to the dinner table.

ANGELA

Morning sweetie, tired after playing 90 minutes last night?

OWEN

I did, thanks for talking to dad about subbing me off. (kisses her on the cheek)

ANGELA

Of course, eat your breakfast, you’ll need the energy for training. 

OWEN takes a seat next to GAVIN. 

GAVIN

Hey brother, can I ask you something? Why didn’t you punch the referee last night? He wouldn’t have seen it coming! 

(Laugh Track)

OWEN
That’s really more of the Captain’s job to argue with the ref, or dad. 

ANGELA

Your dad has enough to think about without having to also argue with the officials. He spends so much time and energy waving at the players on the field. Oh, look at the time!

(yelling) Josh! Breakfast! You’re going to be late for practice!

Josh comes down the stairs, he’s in a black polo shirt and dark slacks. (Audience Applause)

JOSH
Good morning dear

Josh grabs a cup of coffee and a plate, kisses Angela on the cheek, heads to the table

How are all of the pups doing this morning? 

(Laugh Track)

OWEN

Tired, that was a really draining match last night. How did the press conference go?

JOSH
It was ok, I had to go slightly off script since more reporters than just Jorge and Phil were there.

GAVIN
Hey dad, can I ask you something? Why didn’t you punch the referee last night? He wouldn’t have seen it coming! 
(Laugh Track)

ANGELA
(SIGHS) That’s my Pack! 

JOSH, OWEN, and GAVIN howl.

DAVY (off screen)
Hello Wolffpack!

DAVY ENTERS (Audience Applause)

ALL WOLFFS
“Hello Davy”

DAVY
I saw Alex Ring outside

Camera zooms and focuses on JOSH, who snarls in clear dislike

JOSH
Alex Ring
(Laugh Track)

DAVY
He seemed really excited about his new truck, talked to me about it for five minutes

GAVIN
It’s a sweet truck, I want one like that when I’m 16

ANGELA
That’s much too big of a vehicle. And why post pictures of it everywhere?

OWEN
That’s part of the deal, post it on social media for attention. Wait, why don’t I get a new Ford? Don’t all the players get them?

JOSH
You know our social media policy in this household.

GAVIN

Yeah, ask Davy to use his phone to check on everything
(Laugh Track)

ANGELA
That’s My pack!
(Audience Applause
