Review "The Best Bathroom Reading EVER," - San Francisco Chronicle "A must-browse for media freaks." --USA Today "Covering programs from 1955 to 1990, THE BEST TV SHOWS THAT NEVER WERE is an absolute hoot. When Goldberg ventures into criticism for the entries, the results range from amusing to hysterical. I'm dying for a VOLUME 2!" Bookgasm"Full of fool's gold and genuine TV treasures." --The New York Post "You'll slap your head in disbelief--try not to hurt yourself--at the idea of John Denver as a singing FBI agent. You'll wonder whether Joe Penny as a samurai district attorney would have been funnier--unintentionally--that John Belushi's 'Saturday Night Live.' For tube-historians, this is a must see." -- People Magazine "Among the finest books I've ever read about television. And given Lee's track record as writer, producer, director and historian you're not going to find more accomplished guide or judge anywhere. Lee has a lot of fun (and so do we)." Ed Gorman, Mystery Scene Magazine

By Robert Morgan This is a fun book to read (indeed a cover blurb announces it as "Best Bathroom Reading Ever"), but it fails as a comprehensive reference work to TV pilots.The book lists over 300 pilots, along with a plot synopsis and information on stars, running time, network, and more. The problem is that there have been many more pilots than this book covers ("Experimental Television, Test Films, Pilots, and Trial Series, 1925 Through 1995 : Seven Decades of Small Screen Almosts" by Vincent Terrace lists 10 times the number of pilots.) The book also divides the pilots by topic, rather than sorting them by title, which makes for annoying reading. I would have preferred the pilots to all be listed together, alphabetically, perhaps with a small topic index in the back.Fun for a quick overview of the follies of TV, but useless for reference work. To be honest, I wouldn't be giving this a bad review if it weren't for the fact that the book is advertised on the cover as "The Almost Complete Guide..."- I doubt highly that this was the intention of the author. He makes note in his acknowledgements that this is an abridged edition of his book, and thanks other authors who have written more complete guides.

FAILED TV MAKES FOR FUN READING By Dlochte This highly entertaining look at failed TV pilots is, as Goldberg notes in his introduction, a "Best Of" collection, culled from his massive UNSOLD TELEVISION PILOTS: 1955-1989 study. If you're really into busted pilots, the latter is what you should be checking out. But if you're willing to take Goldberg's opinion on the 300 best and worst of the failed attempts -- and who would know better? -- THE BEST TV SHOWS THAT NEVER WERE is just the ticket. Concepts (usually high), characters and casts, with a humorously acerbic comment inserted by the author on occasion. One of my favorite descriptions focuses on a show that ABC was hoping to present in 2005. "Badlands" featured a US Marshal (Lewis Smith) and his cyborg partner (Miguel Ferrer) working for their tough boss (Sharon Stone?????). The ultimate gimmick here is that the marshals are patrolling out west where a drought has sent the population eastward and turned the territory to Mad Maxland. It's a situation that doesn't seem as impossible these days.

Fun reading By Derrick Anderson Lee Goldberg's book "Unsold TV Pilots: The Almost Complete Guide to Everything You Never Saw on TV" features 300 of the most interesting unsold pilots and lists each of them in a complete, interesting way. Lee Goldberg does a great job providing great information on each unsold pilot and even includes what stars played in that pilot. For example..."Steel Collar Man" featured Charles Rocket (Saturday Night Live) and Hoyt Axton (Gremlins). The unsold pilot, by the way, aired on CBS in the mid 1980s.Checking out this book is fun reading and I look forward to reading it again and again.
