It never made it to the air, but in 1953, Frank Sinatra starred in a proposed private eye series called Blues in the Night. Also not becoming series were adaptations of old time radio programs like The First Nighter, The Witchs Tale and Mandrake the Magician. There were also some strange proposals like Grave Sight (about a young woman who can communicate with spirits) and Suture Girl (about a vigilante who kills criminals, rips them apart, then stitches them back together). There were even prequel series that were meant to explore characters before they became famous, like Amazon (to explore Diana Prince before she became Wonder Woman) and The Graysons, to show Dick Graysons life before he aligned himself with Batman.
