SYNOPSIS

This show was based on pilot episodes for series that CBS had not picked up for its fall lineup. In an unusual twist, the viewers were given the opportunity to say whether or not they liked each of the pilots by voting via special "900" numbers after each evening's show had aired. None of the pilots, however, were "saved" by the viewers.

Among the more familiar faces featured in the pilots were Kevin Tighe, Brenda Vaccaro, Buddy Ebsen, Valerie Perrine, Barbara Bain, Linda Purl and Darren McGavin.
