Customer Reviews

A DVD of these pilots would be great

I read the edition published by citadel press and found it to be a great read. I mean how many times do you get blank stares from people when you describe some unbelievable pilot you saw back when? Now you can show them the reference in this book!As far as I'm concerend a few of the pilots in this book sounded like good shows.I think a second edition with more entries would be great. Even better I'd like to see a DVD compilation with these pilots in it!

A fun read and nostalgic , too . Would make a great gift!

This book is a joy -- brings back memories of old stars, old shows, ideas that didn't sell, super trivia!Author Goldberg has done his research and his humorous writing style make this guide a table top or bathroom counter top best-seller.Obviously Goldberg knows his territory.He's a t.v. writer/producer with a love of television and an eye for the humor of what never made it to the home screens.Read this and you can be an authority on shows you never saw.Take my word for it, you will go back again and again to look up shows and stars and story lines in this clever little book full of big information.And, want to see if your favorite star ever made a failed pilot -- look it up here and have a few good giggles.I sure did.

Funny and informative

A fascinating look at what could have been on network tv if not for someone's bright idea. Goldberg is funny and his research really shows in this top notch book. A must for TV junkies.

TV pilots that didn't make the cut...

From the concept of dramas and sitcoms to everything else under the sun, this book gives a brief synopsis to unsold TV pilots. This book gives incredible insight to ideas that just didn't pan out. Probably with good reason, too! Read it and find out for yourself.
