This lively and entertaining book looks at the three hundred best and worst TV series ideas—known in the industry as "pilots"—that never made it to primetime. From the adventures of a Samurai D.A. to the antics of an invisible alien baby, Lee Goldberg details the greatest shows you never saw.
Here's an excerpt from the People Magazine review of the TV special that was based on this book:
"''The Best TV Shows That Never Were,' based on the book 'Unsold TV Pilots' by co-executive producer Lee Goldberg, is a breezy hour of clips from sample episodes of series that the networks decided against ordering. Not surprisingly, most of them stink—which is why the special is such a good time. You'll slap your head in disbelief—try not to hurt yourself—at the idea of John Denver as a singing FBI agent. You'll wonder whether Joe Penny as a samurai district attorney would have been funnier—unintentionally—that John Belushi's 'Saturday Night Live.' And you'll think Scott Bakula is pretty down to earth in 'Star Trek: Enterprise' after you see him in a busted pilot as a wacky scientist who accidentally merges with a satellite. For tube-historians, this is a must see." —People
(This book is an abridgment of "Unsold Television Pilots 1955-1989" Lee Goldberg)
