The first of two articles I’ll be writing in April will be Cancelled Before They Aired, which won last month’s poll with a solid 59.0% of the vote. It’s a working title but at the moment I can think of anything better. Here’s the summary:
There are thousands of television programs that came close to getting on the air, making it to pilot stage or even getting a slot on a preliminary network schedule. But there have only been a handful of shows that were ordered to series, had several episodes ready to go, and were cancelled before they premiered. Read about Snip, Mister Dugan, Manchester Prep, Fearless and more.
Unfortunately, I don’t have much video to include in this article, although I do have quite a few photographs. I believe the second article will focus on CBS and its plans to broadcast Psycho in September 1966. There will also be a new exhibit during April.
