For those interested, a new book about the unsold pilots and unproduced specials contemplated by Desilu has just been published and is available on Amazon. It details the unproduced specials like "Diamond Jim Brady and Lillian Russell" that Lucy attempted to make with Jackie Gleason, the never sold pilots "Code 100" and "Police Story" created by Gene Roddenberry, and Desi's attempt at a sitcom comeback as "The Chairman of the Board" among many other never-realized projects.
