Short-Lived Television Series, 1948-1978

Thirty Years of More Than 1,000 Flops

By: Wesley Hyatt

Do you remember the 1959 game show where ABC cancelled a tape featuring a female impersonator (Across the Board)? Ever heard of Snip, the 1976 sitcom starring David Brenner that NBC canned just before it debuted? Almost everyone who has worked on a successful television series has also been on one that flopped. Even during the first thirty years of broadcasting, when NBC, CBS, and ABC were the only networks and not quite so quick to cancel unsuccessful programs, hundreds of shows lasted less than one year. This work tells the stories of those ill-fated series that were cancelled within one year after their premieres. The entries are arranged chronologically from the 1948-1949 through the 1977-1978 seasons, and provide brief descriptions of the shows along with such facts as the type of program each series was; its times, dates, and network; its competition on other networks; and the names of the cast, producer, director and writer. The book also includes information from more than 100 interviews with actors, writers, directors, and producers who worked on the short-lived television series.

Miles Before Sleep

By: Wesley Mitchell Spyke

Grand Shores is the ideal Midwest town - safe, affluent, unassuming. For Julius Keller, however, the thought of settling down in his hometown stirs painful memories and leaves him feeling trapped. When a local credit union is robbed, the news catapults the tranquil paradise into the media spotlight and forces Julius, along with his drug dealer and best friend Byron, to make a life-changing decision. Constantly hounded by the pressures of home life, and with a mysterious pursuer closely on their heels, Julius and Byron dart across America - embarking on a kaleidoscope of excess-induced adventures fueled by sex, drugs and alcohol - as they recklessly search for the elusive 21st century American Dream. When a drug deal with one of Mexico's most dangerous drug lords takes an unexpected turn, the two friends must face the harsh reality that the roads chosen in life come with a price to be paid - and that price could end up costing them everything.

Matthew's Trilogy of Parables

Matthew's Trilogy of Parables

The Nation, the Nations and the Reader in Matthew 21:28-22:14

By: Wesley G. Olmstead

Wesley Olmstead examines the parables of the Two Sons, the Tenants and the Wedding Feast against the backdrop of the wider Matthean narrative. He explores Matthew's characterization of the Jewish leaders, the people and the nations, and assesses the respective roles of Israel and the nations in the plot of Matthew's Gospel. Against the current of contemporary Matthean scholarship, Olmstead argues both that the judgement this trilogy announces falls upon Israel (and not only her leaders) and that these parables point to the future inclusion of the nations in the nation that God had promised to raise up from Abraham. Bringing both literary-critical and redaction-critical tools to bear on the texts at hand, Olmstead not only elucidates the intended meanings of this parabolic trilogy but also attempts to determine the responses they elicited from their first readers. Transcending Matthean scholarship, this book has implications for all Gospel studies.

Youth Beyond the Developmental Lens

Being over Becoming

By: Wesley W. Ellis

What happens when we stop thinking of young people as projects and recognize them for who they are, here and now? Wesley Ellis exposes the insidious impact of developmental psychology upon youth ministry and practice, arguing instead for a theological anthropology of youth that can help us see all people--including adolescents--as uniquely created in the image of God. Propelled by the conviction that ministry requires us to see youth as beings rather than becomings, Ellis demonstrates how we can reorient our vision toward ministry that prioritizes relationship and inclusion over rigid developmental frameworks. A veteran youth minister across multiple denominations, Ellis knows his subject deeply as both practitioner and theologian. Youth beyond the Developmental Lens mines personal accounts, the biblical narrative, and a vast array of theological expertise to release readers from restrictive assumptions that have long bound youth ministry. Ellis's finely tuned pastoral sensibilities bring all these elements into focus, helping us understand ministry as relational and all humans as part of God's story. Rostered ministers, lay leaders, and others engaged with youth will find an antidote to anxiety about the future of the church. Ellis reminds us that God is here already. Our call is simply to be.

Butt Sandwich & Tree

By: Wesley King

From New York Times bestselling and award-winning author Wesley King comes a tender and grounded middle grade mystery about brothers, basketball, and a young boy on the autism spectrum. Eleven-year-old Green loves his devoted older brother, Cedar, a popular basketball star, but that doesn’t mean he wants to follow in his footsteps. He doesn’t really care about sports or making friends. Still, eventually Green caves to pressure to try out for the basketball team. He may be tall like Cedar, but he’s nowhere near as skilled. And when a confrontation with the coach spurs Green to flee the court, his flight coincides with a priceless necklace going missing—making him the number one suspect. To clear Green’s name, the two brothers team up to find the necklace, and along the way, they learn to appreciate their differences…and the things that bring them together.

Emmy Award Winning Nighttime Television Shows, 1948-2004

By: Wesley Hyatt

Since the early days of television, well before most households had a set, the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences has been handing out honors for the industry's best efforts. Now fans can read about their favorites--and perhaps rediscover some forgotten pleasures--in this reference to prime time and nighttime Emmy winners. Beginning with the heated charade contest known as Pantomime Quiz, which won Most Popular Program of 1948 in the first Emmy Awards ceremony (held in 1949), each of more than 100 winning shows gets star treatment with an entry that includes the year of award or awards, air times, hosts, guests, casts and a full discussion of the show's history and run. Many of the entries include original interviews with cast or crew members. With such rich information, each show's entry constitutes a chapter in the history of television through the story of the show and the people who made it happen. The best of variety, drama, game shows, comedies, adventures and many more categories are featured. An appendix offers interesting facts and figures and ranks shows according to such statistics as longest run, longest delay from debut to win, and most Emmys won.

The Lord's Prayer

A Guide to Praying to Our Father

By: Wesley Hill

You pray it. But do you understand it? The Lord's Prayer has become so familiar to us that we don't think about what we're praying. It's a portrait of Jesus' heart. And in it Christians from different times, places, and traditions have been united. We pray it, but do we actually believe it? When Jesus taught his followers how to pray, he emphasized how uncomplicated it should be. There's no need for pretense or theatrics. Instead, simply ask for what you need as though you were speaking with your earthly father. This opens a window into Jesus' prayer life and presents us with a portrait of his heart for his followers. Wesley Hill re-introduces the Lord's Prayer. He shows us a God who is delighted to hear prayer. Petition by petition, in conversation with the Christian tradition, he draws out the significance of Jesus' words for prayer today.

Quantum Confined Semiconductor Nanocrystals

By: Wesley Chiang,Ovishek Morshed,Todd Krauss

Today, the fascinating story of colloidal quantum dots has no series finale yet. Instead, there continue to be advancements in our understanding of the fundamental properties of these nanocrystals, each of these advancements catalyzing a spin-off into a new journey toward potential applications. These remarkable advancements include improving the synthesis techniques, characterizing nanocrystals at the single-particle level, and tailoring their properties for specific applications. The quantum-confined colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals field has witnessed a remarkable convergence of nanoscience, materials chemistry, and spectroscopy, resulting in unprecedented control over their properties. With ongoing research efforts, the potential of semiconductor nanocrystals continues to unfold. Scientists are exploring new materials, developing scalable synthesis methods, and pushing the boundaries of their applications in fields such as quantum computing, energy storage, and biological sensing. The authors take the reader into quantum confinement and quantum dots. While the contents of this primer are rather expansive, they merely scratch the surface of the complex voyage that quantum dot sciences have undergone. The authors have identified vital terminology, valuable concepts, techniques, and applications.
