It could have been the first television series created by Gene Roddenberry...but it never made it to a soundstage.  For the first time ever, Gene-ology reveals and analyzes Gene's 1957 series pitch for the unmade show "The Man From Texas".

Gene-ology follows Gene Roddenberry's early TV writing career every week, and this week we join the Harbor Command as it tries to prevent a would-be killer's appointment with "The Psychiatrist".  But how much of the final product did Gene write?

Gene-ology follows Gene Roddenberry's early TV writing career every week, in this case chronicling a tradition of "West Point" cadets undergoing field training, namely the Drowning of the Gun, something that is most assuredly can(n)on.

Let's fly!  West Point takes to the sky as an episode Gene wrote for the '50s military series puts Army cadets in the jump seat of Air Force jet fighters, whether they're ready to pull some G's or not. And one nervous cadet's training flight could be his last.

Guest starring Steve Spindler as Chuck Cawlstatt and Canaan Hess as Kenny.

Gene-ology's coverage of Gene Roddenberry's early TV writing continues with another tale from the '50s series West Point. But "Man Of Action" lives up to the "based on fact" part of the show's opening credits much more than most.
