It was past midnight when I walked alone through Greenwich Village, the city emptied of sound and color. I wasn’t looking for anything — only trying to escape the silence that waited for me at home. Then I turned a corner and saw it. A diner glowing like a small ship of light against the darkness.

In 1959, a writer from upstate New York walked into a CBS executive’s office with the most unusual pitch in television history.
