For novice writers, it's best to shoot for 22-25 pages to get you under that 30-minute gauge.
Scripts should always roughly be a page to a minute, so you should expect pilot scripts to be 45 - 60 pages. 45 - 60 pages equals out to about 45 minutes to an hour of screen time. Consider the channel where your script is likely to air.

Each page represents approximately one minute of time on stage depending on how complex you make the blocking. For a ten minute play your script should be from 10-15 pages.
The pages per half-hour vary greatly by show, but most fall between 20 and 40 pages. This range is based on the average length of an episode of television, which is about 22 minutes for network primetime dramas and 10 minutes for cable.
