The early years of television relied in part on already successful
narratives of another medium, as studios adapted radio programs
like Boston Blackie and Defense Attorney to the small screen. Many
shows were adapted more than once, like the radio program Blondie,
which inspired six television adaptations and 28 theatrical films.
These are but a very few of the 1164 programs covered in this
volume. Each program entry contains a detailed story line, years of
broadcast, performer and character casts and principal production
credits where possible. Two appendices ("Almost a Transition" and
"Television to Radio") and a performer's index conclude the book.
This first-of-its-kind encyclopedia covers many little-known
programs that have rarely been discussed in print (e.g., Real
George, based on Me and Janie; Volume One, based on Quiet, Please;
and Galaxy, based on X Minus One). Covered programs include The
Great Gildersleeve, Howdy Doody, My Friend Irma, My Little Margie,
Space Patrol and Vic and Sade.
