{"product_id":"science-fiction-theatre-a-history-martin-grams-jr-9781593936570","title":"Science Fiction Theatre a History of the Television Program, 1955-57","description":"From 1955 to 1957, Science Fiction Theatre, a semi-documentary series, explored the \"what ifs\" of modern science. Placing an emphasis on science before fiction, television viewers were treated to a variety of complex challenges from mental telepathy, robots, man-eating ants, killer trees, man's first flight into outer space and the possibility of visitation from outer space. Hosted by Truman Bradley, a former radio news commentator, Science Fiction Theatre became an influential program for the time, courtesy of Ivan Tors, a man with a healthy regard for science and nature. Hollywood actors Gene Barry, Ruth Hussey, Gene Lockhart, Basil Rathbone, Howard Duff, William Lundigan and Vincent Price are but a few who lent their talents. For the first time ever, this 530-page book documents the entire history of the television program with biographies about Fred Ziv, Ivan Tors and Truman Bradley; behind-the-scenes production details; over 150 exclusive never-before-published photographs; and an episode guide for all 78 episodes including dates of production, fake science props, cast list, salary fees, location shooting, and much more\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Jr. Grams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1593936575\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781593936570\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e BearManor Media\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/30\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 530\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.07d","brand":"Martin Jr. Grams","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44124939649279,"sku":"9781593936570","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_331b6751-4af3-466e-8a93-05da10334094.jpg?v=1687439698","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/science-fiction-theatre-a-history-martin-grams-jr-9781593936570","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
