"10 TV Pilots That Thankfully Didn't Get Picked Up"

The Adventures of Superpup (above) was a 1958 brainchild of Adventures of Superman producer Whitney Ellswork. It featured dog characters played by little people in oversized dog head masks. They used sets from the George Reeves Superman show in the pilot.

It is now a footnote in a new list.

"10 TV Pilots That Thankfully Didn't Get Picked Up" has this and nine more television pilots (proposed television shows) that were rejected. Many of us are glad they weren't picked up!

NOTE: An excellent book on Adventures of Superpup and Adventures of Superboy (starring Johnny Rockwell) was written by Chuck Harter.
