On November 27, 1937, NBC presented TV's first pilot film, Sherlock Holmes (then called an "experiment"). Thousands of pilot films (both unaired and televised) have been produced since. This updated and restyled book contains 2,470 alphabetically arranged pilot films broadcast from 1937 to 2019. Entries contain the concept, cast and character information, credits (producer, writer, director), dates, genre and network or cable affiliation. In addition to a complete performer's index, two appendices have been included: one detailing the pilot films that led to a series and a second that lists the programs that were spun off from one series into another. Never telecast pilot films can be found in the companion volume, The Encyclopedia of Unaired Television Pilots, 1945-2018. Both volumes are the most complete and detailed sources for such information, a great deal of which is based on viewing the actual programs.

Test films, pilots, trial series, limited runs, summer tryouts--by whatever name, televison networks have produced thousands of experimental shows that never made it into the regular line-up. Some were actually shown, but failed to gain an audience; many others never even made it on the air. This work includes more than 3,000 experimental television programs, both aired and unaired, that almost became a series. Entries include length, network, air date (if appropriate), a fact-filled plot synopsis, cast, guest stars, producer, director, writer, and music coordinator. Fully indexed.

Oliver Greystock, the new Earl of Saintbury, was brought up and went to college with the understanding that he would be a curate or vicar -- in service to people. When he inherits, he does his best to continue his good works, joining an Association that works with the poor and opening some of the earliest soup kitchens. His work earns him the title of the Saint amongst the ton. Lord Anthony Harcourt, Tony to his friends, is a young buck about town with a fortune and nothing to do except amuse himself. Still, he is suffering from ennui and can’t shake his boredom until one of his friends suggests setting his sights on the ton’s newest darling, the Saint. Tony decides he’s up for the challenge. Then Tony gets more than he bargained for on a night with the Saint and Oliver’s kitchen becomes the site of several murders, entwining their lives even further.
What is a dream? Modern science isn't sure. The general belief runs that dreams are illusions: while we sleep, our brains process recent electrical memory into long-term chemical memory, and our minds try to make sense of all the scraps of image and emotion and impression. Some people believe that dreams reveal our innermost desires, or our deepest fears. We pay analysts a fortune to interpret them. Some believe that dreams are visions of the future. They've been known to come true. Some believe that dreams are messages from someone or somewhere beyond our regular senses. Some believe that dreams are glimpses-or even visits-into other realities: the afterlife, or worlds that might have been. Are dreams real? If they exist, even only in our minds, then how can they not be real? So, what is a dream? Here we present one answer, and ten ... dreams, if you will. They were, at least, visions in the minds of the writers. Whether they are real is up to you.
