SAMPLE
註釋
The early years of television relied in part on 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 few of the 1,164 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
.
