TV Confidential with Ed Robertson show

Summary: TVC 639.3a: Greg and Ed discuss the Kino Lorber special edition Blu-ray release of The Questor Tapes (1974), the made-for-TV movie starring Robert Foxworth, Mike Farrell, John Vernon, Walter Koenig, and Dana Wynter that is also known among Gene Roddenberry aficionados as one of the best pilots that Roddenberry ever made, but which never went to series. Topics this segment include how the Questor character served as a prototype for Data, the android that Brent Spiner eventually played on Star Trek: The Next Generation.
