Listen "Texas: Daytime TV's Answer to Dallas"
Episode Synopsis
TVC 706.5: Ed welcomes John McCafferty, the actor known around the world as Billy Joe Wright on Texas (NBC, 1980-1982), and Tom Lisanti, sixties movie historian and 1970s daytime TV historian. John is among the many actors, writers, directors, NBC executives, and other behind-the-scenes personnel that Tom interviewed for his latest book, Texas: An Oral History of Daytime's Answer to Dallas—everything you wanted about the highly touted spin-off of Another World (NBC, 1964-1999) that may not have lived up to the expectations of then-NBC head Fred Silverman, but which nonetheless remains beloved by its fans today. Texas: An Oral History of Daytime's Answer to Dallas is available wherever books are sold through our friends at Bear Manor Media.
