Yes.

I think it aired August 86 as a 2 hr tv movie

Is it available anywhere?

There's a Depends joke in there somewhere.

Apparently,Young departed Dark Mansions due to 'creative differences'

Producer Jerry London said,'Young saw Margaret as something that wasn't written.We were willing to bend somewhat,but it got to the point where the story was changing. The concept of the show is that the story revolves around the family.i think Loretta's idea was that the show revolve around Margaret.We wanted the mysterious mansion and the conflict between the two sons.'

August 85 NBC aired the TV movie pilot The Covenant,a supernatural soap centering on the Nobles, a powerful San Francisco banking family in league with the devil.The supernatural power is passed on by the women.Their secret is known only to a group of people known as 'the judges',who are trying to destroy the family through an infoltrator.

Jose Ferrer stars as the patriach,who was once an advisor to Hitler.Jane Badler as his wife.

That certainly sounds controversial. I guess Jane would have been his young wife.

CBS and Warner Bros had East Of Eden ready to go but cooled on the idea once Peyton Place began to quickly cool in the ratings.This was November 65

I didn't realize PP's ratings were down that early on.

Written on The Wind,the 1958 Douglas Sirk movie that starred Dorothy Malone was being developed as once a week primetime serial for CBS for the 66/67 season.

PP ranked 9th and 20th for its first season.After that it was not in the top 25 shows of the season.
