What is incredible about this pilot is that all three leads, Cynthia Pepper, Bernie Kopell, an dGary Lockwood are all still alive as I type this.

I was born in 1968. I love watching movies and television shows from the 50’s and early to mid-60’s.

I do not understand why this wasn’t picked up! It’s delightful! Thank you!!!

Watching this pilot affords one a greater respect for Lockwood as an actor.

Very beautiful Cynthia Pepper.... reminds me a lot of Lee Remick.

I sent this link to Gary Lockwood's daughter Samantha. The old man will get a kick out of this! Thanks, Jeff.

I'm surprised this wasn't picked up. The writing was very good, and all the actors were perfect for their rolls.

Crazy to see these old shows that never got past the pilot. This is my 3rd pilot. Thx !! 😊

What a find!!!! Lockwood was a gorgeous leading man! Pepper was beautiful and perfect. Why this pilot did not take,one only knows!

The dog-whistler in the window (14:15) is actor/comedian DAVID BURNS, who at the time was starring (w/ Carol Channing) as Horace Vandergelder in the L-O-N-G running musical "Hello Dolly" on Broadway. An easy day's TV work for this well-known stage star during the weekly grind of the hit musical.

A weekend in New York in the 60's and with Gary Lockwood... Do you know Santa Claus, I have an ask to do !? Very nice, sweet and funny, thank you very much ! I loved it !

Cynthia Pepper looks gorgeous in this 1965 Sally and Sam unsold CBS Pilot classic!!

Cynthia played Jean Pearson on My Three Sons during its first season. And the Empire State Building already had its antenna by the 60s. I was a Saturday commuter for three years - took a bus from New Jersey to the PABT and then the subway to Brooklyn.

Bernie Kopell before his “Love Boat” days !

Gary Lockwood had just finished a 1 year run starring in “The Lieutenant” on NBC….IMO…a really good show that should never have been cancelled…

This is the extended *unaired* version of the episode, with a "pitch" for the series by creator/producer Hal Kanter afterwards. An edited version was telecast on CBS' "GENERAL FOODS SUMMER PLAYHOUSE" on July 5, 1965.

Nice to see Ferdi's Restaurant. When we moved to NY we lived in Tudor City & went to Ferdi's via the 43rd ST stairs to 1st Avenue.

Star Trek (original series, 2nd pilot) Gary Lockwood played Lt. Commander Gary Mitchell in "Where No Man Has Gone Before"

This looks like it would have made a great series.

That was a wonderfully refreshing pilot. Better than That Girl. Again, someone screwed up. And classic flavor Thank you for posting

Love these undiscovered gems❤

wow, kind of sad to listen to the plans for the next few years when it never went on beyond one pilot..........

Great look at NYC. We visited the Guggenheim in 2014. Still in mint condition.

What a wonderful show. It should have made it, I don't understand the people back then when they made decisions. Gary if you see this show and read the comments I just want to say what a wonderful actor you are.

Would've been a great series. I want to see more.

I am going to show this to Cynthia today. Merry Chrstmas!

Phyllis Douglas as the nurse was beautiful, she was also on Star Trek and Batman.

All the music is so similar. Bewitched, Jeannie, that girl. Its interesting how background music was so important back then and followed the tone of scenes.

Loved Gary Lockwood in The Lieutenant (and enjoyed him in his previous show Follow the Sun). I remember watching Margie (and likely remember Cynthia from My Three Sons since my main motivation for watching that show was Tim Considine) but I can see why this show didn't sell. [I only know those references because I looked up Cynthia because she looked familiar]

This same year, Lockwood will go "Where No Man Has Gone Before!" Meanwhile Kopell was destined to "Get Smart!"

Although Lockwood wouldn't film his part for a year or more, in 1965 Kubrick began filming 2001! Hard to believe the two shows existed at the same time. And if this pilot had sold someone else would have played Poole in 2001, too.

I just discovered Gary Lockwood a few days ago on Gunsmoke. The episode was called 'The Raid'. It was a two parter. He played the main bad guy. When I saw him I knew it was going to be good and it was.

Enjoyable episode. “ Cheer up young man,many of fox has been out foxed in the henhouse “Awesome

Gary Lockwood’s masculinity flows off the screen! Cynthia has the dilemma of all women of earlier decades, a promising career or be a housewife💁

Bill Rice should never have resigned his commission. Captain Rambridge (who by 1965 transferred to an intelligence outfit in NYC) would be very disappointed in him. Hopefully he can get that job at Star Fleet in a year or so. I think he has a real future in the space program.

Wish Gary L would have had more shows.

This would have been wonderful to watch more of.

Gotta love Cynthia Pepper!

I liked the heavy pitch by the Executive Producer to prospective sponsers at the end of the pilot!

A mash up of Barefoot in the Park, Love on the Rooftop (Owen Madden has the right idea) and the Doris Day/Rock Hudson sophisticated comedies of the day. If I had to guess why it didn't get picked up it would be because the scope of the subject was so limited. The minute they got together the sparks would have dissipated. The movie versions of this type of story had a one-shot sustainability.

Gary Lockwood was very busy during the 1960s.

and they all graduated and went on cruises on the love boat...

Imagine when coffee was 68 cents a pound!

Wish this would have been bought thank you for posting this

I met Gary Lockwood. He is really funny.

Mr. Lockwood clearly showed that he had great range as a actor. I've always loved campy comedies.

This reminds me of the storyline to Sunday in New York with Jane Fonda and Rod Taylor in 1963 New York.

I remember Gary Lockwood from the classic 1968 movie "2001: A Space Odyssey".

Love this, wish it became a series…

*¡Gary Lockwood was around 28 years young [born in 1937] while Cynthia Pepper [born in 1940] was around 25 years young!* - 6:03 PM Pacific Standard Time on Monday, 29 November 2021 Common Era or CE formerly known as Ano Domini or AD

Believe it or not, I located information on the movie in the background, and therefore, the approximate date of this footage. At 35 seconds into this pilot, you can see a portion of a cinema on the left-hand side of the screen. The movie is "One, Two, Three," with Horst Buchholz and Arlene Francis. It is a political comedy film which was released in the United States on December 15th, 1961. Since this unsold pilot with Gary Lockwood is from 1965, it must have been sitting around for several years when the final decision not to pick it up as a regular series was made.

The nurse Phyllis Douglas went on to play Yeoman Mears in the Star Trek episode:"The Galileo Seven."

Cool to see Hal Kanter outlining where he wanted the series to go.

At timecode 1:14:09, it loks like cynthia pepper’s stand-in/ double is also a background actor, walking down the street. ..same outfit and hair!!

I wish it would continue, alas the end.

Putting a chain on the bedroom door would have really protected her from intruders! LOL.

If this show was picked up, we may have never gotten Siegfried.

The MODEL SHOP was a great and unusual movie for Gary Lockwood. He's acting was awsome. I myself only saw it once on a late night CBS movie time in the mid 70s. Never seen it since (from 976-CREOLEMAN).

I loved Bernie on Love Boat.

THANKS

Watch him in Model shop superb film.

9:57 Who the HELL keeps uncovered donuts on a plate in their kitchen cabinet?

Not sure why it was unsold. It’s watchable for the time it was made. I’m a bit surprised because most of these unsold pilots are dreadful.

What a hottie Gary Lock wood was. And good actor, too.

Actually, I think if CBS had given this a chance, it would had lasted a few seasons. If the show had been picked up, would Gary Lockwood been casted as LT Gary Mitchell in the second pilot of “Star Trek”? 🤔

Beautiful people really existed back then! Of every race!

Who knew? Bernie Kopell playing a Dr before playing the Dr that made him a household name!

I love Bernie's classic Packard ambulance at the beginning.

This reminds me of Love On A Rooftop.

This was fun. Would have come between Gary's series for Gene Roddenberry, THE LIEUTENANT, and his role in Roddenberry's second STAR TREK pilot. Before he married Stefanie Powers, even. Some nice location footage, too. Vaguely reminds me of the later British series, NO, HONESTLY, where a married couple reminisce about their often rocky courtship. You know they get together eventually but every week you have to ask yourself how!

*Open the house front door, Sally* *I'm sorry, I can't do that Sam*

Cripes, look at the size of that NYC apartment. How much are these two gals earning? Hell of a lot more than some random medical student.

Can't imagine why this didn't make it. Sarcasm

2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) Gary Lockwood played Dr. Frank Poole, astronaut.

I can see WHY it didn't get picked up. The comedy is rather forced. I loved him in "The Lieutenant" but this doesn't "click".

Used to ice sold in large vending machines; cubes, or block for those still with an ice box.

Watching this makes me think why this show did not make it and My Mother The Car did ?

this was interesting!

What a shame this wasn't picked up. If anything ever comes of generative AI besides demonic-looking crazy-eyed lunacy, maybe some day we can fan-fiction whole episodes of pilots that never took off. I want to know what became of these characters. Even before Mr. Kanter''s pitch at the end. According to wikipedia, as a kid he sold jokes wholesale to Eddie Cantor's writer Hugh Wedlock, who then sold them full price to the show. Truly, we can say Kanter's media career was born out of wedlock!!! ;-)

If this show was picked up as a regular series , Gary Lockwood couldn't have played Frank Poole in 2001. I believe they started shooting that movie in early 1966. I'll say one thing,: he's a lot more lively and animated here than as Frank.

That was pretty good, I guess we won't see how things work out.

Bernie Koppell! So cute...

Girls fresh out of college with a fabulous manhattan apartment? Oh. It was 1966.

I had no idea that Cynthia Pepper was so adorable. I would have watched this series.

"I want to be a truly great...housewife!" - said no one, ever.

He pushed her when he came in the door

The show was cancelled because Harry met Sally. I've never gone on a date in Manhattan where we did any sight seeing. because it's easier for two people to get to know each other when they're breaking bread, not doing distracting activity. A good dinner at Elaine's could really kick start a relationship. I worked in that UN secretariat, 35th floor. The places they visited would be exhausting to organize. Why the show wasn't taken on? Here's my take: At the time it was very racy for men to stay overnight, especially if a guy lied to do so on a sophomoric bet with a man she had previously rejected (stalker vibes). Manhattan women also looked for men who could afford their own apartment. Also, they made it too obvious it was Sam's looks that attracted her. Male buyers of TV time would not appreciate a young woman lusting after a man because of his muscles even though we all know it doesn't hurt to work out hard ourselves. They wanted women to want them or else a dork of a husband like in Bewitched. Larry Hagman in Jeanie did not attract her because he took his shirt off. In Three's Company, Jack was funny as hell without a scene where he took off his shirt and Chrissy and Janet melted. So the shirtless scene carrying the pilot probably would have been the death knell. That seemed to be the "gimmick." Too bad for the actress that this wasn't taken on.

Doctor Holly is a young Love Boot crew member.

Hey, that’s Doc from the Love Boat!!! I don’t ever remember seeing him in anything before that show. Look how young he is. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😅

I’ve only seen him playing creeps.

That was a cold move on Doc in the beginning...

I know why this one didn’t get picked up.

Anyone else think Cynthia Pepper and Sally Field sound alike?

Sam gives off a lot of serial killer vibes

If you watch most television from back then, you wouldn’t think women were ever even tempted by lust. In one year, TV went from double beds for Rob and Laura Petrie, to a woman seeing a shirtless man and considering her options.

Basically, "How I *Married* Your Mother"...

The canned laughter and the background music wasn't balanced very well with the diaglog, it would blast out way to loud

Bernie Koppel

Great pilot. Why was this passed over?

Pretty gal. That's about it.
