The Beaver Papers: The Story of the "Lost Season" by Will Jacobs and Gerard Jones

Imagine this scenario: It's May 1963, and ABC executives have slated Leave it to Beaver for cancellation. The producers desperately try to revamp the show to salvage it, but nothing works. Then a script arrives from none other than Jack Kerouac, and in its wake follow other scripts from the giants of contemporary literature, rallying to save their beloved television show. Alas, the show was not saved, and these scripts went unproduced and languished in the files of the network...until now.
