This week, we're celebrating Norman Lear's 100th birthday by looking at two of his less successful shows (https://jacksonupperco.com/2015/04/29/spring-break-research-recap-2015-ii/). We start with Lear's adaptation of a play about a seedy hotel with even seedier residents, Hot L Baltimore (https://web.archive.org/web/20061031125301/http://www.jumptheshark.com/h/hotlbaltimore.htm). Most of the players were relative newcomers, and three went on to much greater success in the decades that followed.
