Television Scripts, 1957-1999
Scope and Contents
This series includes unbound scripts from other television shows written by Phil Leslie as well as scripts from The New Addams Family based on Leslie's original versions. Each show is a separate subseries. Several shows include scripts for episodes that were never produced as well as ideas for potential storylines (scripts that are believed to have never been produced are marked as such). Many also include notes compiled by Leslie as part of his writing process. See Series 5 for additional unproduced scripts.
