There are eight million stories in the naked city. And I can't think of one of them…
That first sentence is a quote of the closing statement of the early (1958 - 1963) television series titled Naked City. The full statement is, “There are eight million stories in the naked city. This has been one of them.”
The series mimicked documentary style in its construction and may have been the original mockumentary. But the most annoying thing about it is the fact that it produced enough new material to fill so many weeks . Most of these were written by one writer, Stirling Silliphant, who also created and wrote for the spin-off, Route 66.
Such prolific production is particularly galling when I seem to have run out of ideas, especially as that blasted tag line keeps returning to my mind.
