The nation's television critics voted Steve Allen's "Meeting of Minds" scripts as the 'Best TV Writing of 1976-1977', together with James Costigan's "Eleanor and Franklin". Subsequently the series won the Peabody Award, an Encyclopaedia Britannica Award, the Film Advisory Board Award, and an official endorsement by the National Education Association. This volume contains the second Series of six scripts. The first two programs bring together Margaret Sanger, Mohandas Gandhi, and Adam Smith; the second two include Niccolo Paganini, William Blake, and Leonardo da Vinci; and the final two feature Oliver Cromwell, the nineteenth-century Irish nationalist leader Daniel O'Connell, and Catherine the Great. This is the second of four volumes of scripts from the First through the Fourth Series of "Meeting of Minds".
The man who invented the television talk show surpassed even himself when he created Meeting of Minds, the award-winning series that captured America's imagination. These four volumes offer the original scripts from the series, including material edited from the broadcast versions that ran from 1977 to 1981 on PBS stations nationwide. Many believe that Meeting of Minds is the most brilliant series ever to be written for television. The show provides a groundbreaking opportunity to be exposed to ideas by way of a medium not normally known for its intellectual vigor. Indeed, Meeting of Minds grew out of Allen's frustration with the mediocrity of the average network program. He envisioned the show as a stimulating round-table discussion conducted like any other talk show - except that the participants would be actors portraying some of the greatest minds and most prominent figures of history. Accordingly, such characters as Aristotle, Catherine the Great, Oliver Cromwell, Emily Dickinson, Margaret Sanger, Gandhi, Thomas Paine, Cleopatra, Theodore Roosevelt, and St. Thomas Aquinas appear in startlingly effective juxtaposition, their characters revealed through brilliantly conceived dialogue. This first volume features appearances by President Theodore Roosevelt, Queen Cleopatra, Thomas Aquinas, Thomas Paine, President Ulysses S. Grant, Queen Marie Antoinette, Sir Thomas More, Karl Marx, Charles Darwin, Emily Dickinson, Galileo Galilei, and Attila the Hun. The scripts for Meeting of Minds make for excellent reading, distilling an enormous amount of research into a lively format that has the undeniable veracity of historical fact. The result is unfailingly witty, thought-provoking, and geniunely entertaining. Steve Allen's lucidity and fertile intelligence are evident on every page. Meeting of Minds remains one of the freshest, most delightful ways of gaining historical perspective ever devised, an incomparable tour de force with the power to make history come alive.
