Irwin Allen's Million Dollar TV Pilot Takes Grand Beating Heart
Hollywood reports Irwin Allen, famed for Poseidon Adventure and The Towering Inferno, launched a million-dollar TV pilot The Swiss Family Robinson for ABC. If ratings soar Tuesday, the project could become a fall series starring Martin Milner and Cameron Mitchell. Allen plans three pilots at $1 million each and seeks immediacy over logic, delivering family fare with adult appeal while stressing nature driven peril rather than human violence.
