"Do you remember the 1959 game show where ABC cancelled a tape featuring a female impersonator (Across the Board)? Ever heard of Snip, the 1976 sitcom starring David Brenner that NBC canned just before it debuted? Almost everyone who has worked on a successful television series has also been on one that flopped. Even during the first thirty-years of broadcasting, when NBC, CBS, and ABC were the only networks and not so quick to cancel unsuccessful programs, hundreds of shows lasted less than one year.".
"This work tells the stories of those ill-fated series that were cancelled within one year after their premieres. The entries are arranged chronologically from the 1948-1949 through the 1977-1978 season, and provide brief descriptions of the shows along with such facts as the type of program each series was; its times, dates and network; its competition on other networks; and the names of the cast, producer, director and writer.
The book also includes information from more than 100 interviews with actors, writers, directors, and producers who worked on the short-lived television series."--BOOK JACKET.
