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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e   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).
