Roddenberry, Lucy, The Love Boat, and M*A*S*H

TVC 457.2: Marc Cushman, author of These Are The Voyages: Star Trek The Original Series, talks to Ed about what a visionary Gene Roddenberry was early in his career, above and beyond Star Trek (including ideas for series that were, essentially, prototypes of The Love Boat and M*A*S*H), as well as the integral role that Lucille Ball played in getting Star Trek on the air. Volume 1 of These Are The Voyages: Star Trek The Original Series was recently updated and expanded with new information, plus it is available as an audiobook.
