"The Best Bathroom Reading EVER," - San Francisco Chronicle
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 1955-1990. From the adventures of a Samurai D.A. to the antics of an invisible alien baby, Lee Goldberg reveals the most astonishing, funny, and bizarre shows that never were.
"A must-browse for media freaks." - USA Today
"Irresistible and enthralling." - Hartford Courant
"Full of fool's gold and genuine TV treasures." - The New York Post
"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.' For tube-historians, this is a must see." - People Magazine
This book was previously published as "Unsold TV Pilots: The Greatest Shows You Never Saw" and "Unsold TV Pilots: The Almost Complete Guide To Everything You Never Saw on TV"
