(1974) Unsold pilot: Produced a sitcom pilot for ABC called "The Fireman's Ball." The plot concerned the misadventures of a group of San Francisco firemen. ABC liked the concept enough to recast and re-shoot another pilot in 1975, with
Johnny Brown and
David Ketchum the only returning actors, but the network decided not to pick it up for its fall lineup when the audience reaction to its 1975 airing was decidedly cool.
