    In 1973, he co-wrote the teleplay for an unsold sitcom pilot for NBC called Kibbee and Fitch. The plot concerned two sisters who marry firemen (Chuck McCann and Michael Bell) who can't stand each other, with the couples winding up sharing the same duplex. This was a remake of a similarly unsuccessful 1965 pilot.
