Meeting of Minds
Overview
The show featured guests who played significant roles in world history. Guests would interact with each other and host Steve Allen, discussing philosophy, religion, history, science, and many other topics. As nearly as was possible, the actual words of the historical figures were used. The show was fully scripted, yet the scripts were carefully crafted to give the appearance of spontaneous discussion among historic figures. Typically, each episode would be split into two parts, broadcast separately, with most or all of the guests introduced over the course of the first part, and the discussions continuing into the second part. A total of 24 episodes were produced.
This production, originally released in 1977, has captivated audiences with its unique storytelling. As a Scripted series, it brings a fresh perspective to the Documentary genre, maintaining a strong viewer rating of 9.5 across its 4 seasons.
