Unaired pilot films are a form of TV programming that is produced to sell a potential series but not only remain unsold but never air as well. The years 1945 through 2017 are covered with an alphabetical listing of nearly 3,000 such pilot films. In addition to the stand alone pilot films, the unaired pilot films that became a series (but with a different cast) are also listed (examples being The Green Hornet, The Middle , and Superman ). Rarities such as Bela Lugosi, Doris Day and Humphrey Bogart proposed series; and projects for such former movie stars as Barbara Stanwyck, Orson Welles, Claudette Colbert and Mae West can also be found. Information on series that aired but have a different aired pilot film; and series that were produced but never aired are also included. It is an invaluable aid to researchers seeking information, that for the most part, cannot be found anywhere else (examples being, Mona Freeman not Gale Storm] playing Margie in My Little Margie ; John Larkin playing Perry Mason long before Raymond Burr acquired the role; and Buster Crabbe playing Sky King before Kirby Grant). If these small examples have captured your attention, you'll be amazed to see what lies ahead.].
