My recent trip to my hometown, Cleveland Ohio, had me discovering this fine nugget at the main library downtown. The book, true to its title, lists American television series that aired one season or less. To it detriment, most series' listings only have the air dates and major credits. About one-fifth of the shows contain the results of an interview of someone who worked on the show and this where it gets interesting. Several game shows are covered. Among the nuggets: Get the Message (the network nixed the notion of Betty White as host), Everybody's Talking! (over a dozen filmed editors on the payroll made the show too expensive to produce), The Generation Gap (the young generation team clobbered the old generation team constantly) and Split Personality (dumb contestants; nobody recognized the face of then First Lady Mamie Eisenhower).
Worthy addition to your reference books.
Add: the author is Westly Hyatt.
