===Background===
[[Paramount Pictures]] was involved in television as early as 1949 when it owned a television network called the "Paramount Television Network" and an early television division known as "[[Paramount Television Productions]]". The network presented and produced 17 programs in total until it and the production banner were dissolved in 1956. Paramount also had a majority stake in the DuMont Television Network and owned KTLA in Los Angeles and WBKB in Chicago (now WBBM-TV). Paramount Pictures' second attempt in the television industry began in 1959 as "[[Paramount Pictures Television]]" when they produced the television movie ''Destination Space'' for CBS. They also co-produced six unsold pilots with Tandem Productions, such as ''Henry T.'' and ''Meet Me At Danny's''. They also had a short-lived production banner called "[[Telemount-Mutual Productions|Telemount-Mutual]]".
