Many shows were adapted more than once, like the radio program \u003ci\u003eBlondie\u003c\/i\u003e, 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., \u003ci\u003eReal George\u003c\/i\u003e, based on \u003ci\u003eMe and Janie\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eVolume One\u003c\/i\u003e, based on \u003ci\u003eQuiet, Please\u003c\/i\u003e; and \u003ci\u003eGalaxy\u003c\/i\u003e, based on \u003ci\u003eX Minus One\u003c\/i\u003e). Covered programs include \u003ci\u003eThe Great Gildersleeve, Howdy Doody, My Friend Irma, My Little Margie, Space Patrol\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eVic and Sade\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVincent Terrace\u003c\/b\u003e has been a researcher for ABC television and is the television historian for BPOLIN Productions (an independent film and television producing company for which he has created two projected televisions series: \u003ci\u003eApril's Dream\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eApril and May: Ghost Hunters\u003c\/i\u003e (both starring actress-ventriloquist April Brucker).
