This week's look back concentrates on a roundtable discussion regarding the future of television drama. Hard as it may be for many to believe, with all the discussion regarding the current "Golden Age" of television, but in 1965 the question was whether or not TV drama would survive. My look at the different angles to this discussion includes comments from Gene Roddenberry, Sterling Silliphant, Bruce Geller and others.
