Then Mike Wallace meets THE HOMOSEXUALS (1966) in a series of shadowy-faced interviews! BONUS! BOYS BEWARE!

In LAS VEGAS BEAT Peter leads a detective squad solving crimes in America's most glamorous and dangerous city! Then, a really interesting pilot; CALL TO DANGER (1967) stars Peter Graves with Daniel J. Travanti and James Gregory. This is kind of a dry run for 'Mission Impossible' as Peter stars as a genius working for a secret Government agency who usedchess moves and a room full of computers to come up with master plans to trip up and catch master criminals! This one is not in super visual shape, but as a pop culture curiosity it's well worth checking out!

RARE TV PILOTS VOL. 10— THE SERGEANT AND THE LADY (1958) This one should have gone to series, Jack Lord and Peggie Castle star as two detectives on the San Diego police force on the trail of the Blue Jeans bandit, this is a great show! COMMAND (1956) Everett Sloane and Ben Cooper star in a cavalry drama based on 'She Wore a Yellow Ribbon', OPERATION E.S.P (1953) I'm not entirely sure this is a pilot, but it's one of the most entertaining half-hours I've watched recently. Sheldon Leonard and Bob Sweeney are two Runyonesque racetrack gamblers who meet a gent with E.S.P. Hilarity, of course, ensues.

RARE TV PILOTS VOL. 11— ALARM (1956) Bandleader Fred Waring hosts these true tales torn from the files of your Fire Department! This week, a dramatization of the famous 'Coconut Grove' fire of 1942! BIRTHRIGHT (1955) True tales torn from the files of your local adoption agency! This show is fascinatingly seamy as they try and include mature subject matter without really talking about it!

RARE TV PILOTS VOL. 12—Two hour-long pilots this time, TV scholars might remember CALHOUN, a 1964 pilot starring Jackie Cooper and Barbara Stanwyck, as the subject of Merle Miller's scathing book on Hollywood, 'Only You, Dick Darling'. Get the book and watch the pilot, it's an education on the production of mid-60's filmed television. Then, meet the mysterious STRYKER (1964) starring Richard Egan, Telly Savalas, Tina Louise, Al Hirt, Viveca Lindfors, Ed Asner and Dee Hartford, otherwise known as Mrs. Groucho Marx!

RARE TV PILOTS VOL. 13—First, journey to the CITY BENEATH THE SEA, a 1968 Irwin Allen pilot with all the cheezy special effects and explosions you've come to love! Then, a 1954 pilot for THE SHADOW and after you uncloud your mind from that, Darren McGavin stars in the pilot for WITCHCRAFT (1957), where host Franchot Tone treats you to tales of terror! Finally, an also-ran in the comedy-fantasy sweepstakes of 1965, WHO GOES THERE?, where Pat Hingle as the ghost of General Custer and Ben Blue as his faithful Indian companion, see we're already in trouble, haunt a house in West L.A. (?) where a freshly scrubbed American nuclear family has just moved . Simple premise, right?

Join Mike and show regulars Hans Conreid, Sebastian Cabot and Stubby Kaye plus stars like Clint 'Cheyenne' Walker, Mamie Van Doren, Diana Dors and Beverly Garland! Three fun episodes!

THIS IS YOUR LIFE & YOU ASKED FOR IT—Here are two of the most beloved shows of 50's TV. THIS IS YOUR LIFE Ralph Edwards tells the life story of silent stars Tom Moore and Buster Keaton, then from the 1973 revival of the show Ralph surprises Morey Amsterdam! YOU ASKED FOR IT (1955 ABC) Genial host Art Baker celebrates the shows fifth anniversary by looking back on some of the programs most amazing requests!

TINY TIM VOL. 1—Tiny qualifies as all three of the above!

WIDE WIDE WORLD—Dave Garroway hosts this live 90-minute look at America's fascination with 'THE WESTERN' (1958). Gene Autry, directorJohn Ford and almost all your favorite Movie and TV cowboys past and present join Dave in this teriffic live 90 minute show!

WILLIAM SHATNER & ADAM WEST TV PILOTS—Ernest Borgnine stars as Capt. Quentin McHale in FRED ASTAIRE'S PREMIERE THEATRE (the syndicated title for dramas originally shown on ALCOA PREMIERE during its 1961-2 season on ABC) 'Seven Against the Sea' a dramatic tale of a PT captain and his crew. It's 'McHales Navy' played straight! Next, popular culture wouldn't have been the same if this 1964 ABC pilot had been picked up! ALEXANDER THE GREAT starring William Shatner as the mighty conqueror and Adam West as his aide-de-camp (and I do mean camp!) What a chariot opera! In faded color, but color all the same!
