How long should a 20 minute tv show script be?

I was just wondering how long a script should be for a TV show that's about 20 minutes long. I was thinking about not doing a script and making the dialogue using "improv." But I want to figure out how long a 20 minute show's script should be to find out if I’m making a whole script or using "improv".
 
A general rule I've picked up is that one page of script equals roughly one minute of air-time. It's a good place to start, anyway.
