Description: UPN UNVEILED THIS COMEDY ABOUT THE ABRAHAM LINCOLN WHITE HOUSE IN 1998. THE SERIES, THE SECRET DIARY OF DESMOND PFEIFFER PREMIERED ON OCTOBER 5, 1998. THE NETWORK BILLED THE HALF-HOUR WEEKLY SERIES AS "OUTRAGEOUS," BUT CRITICS AND AUDIENCES WERE APPALLED, AND THE SERIES WAS CANCELLED ON OCTOBER 24TH, AFTER JUST FOUR EPISODES AIRED (THERE WERE NINE PRODUCED). THE COMEDY REVOLVED AROUND A 19TH CENTURY BLACK ENGLISH NOBLEMAN (DESMOND PFEIFFER, PLAYED BY MCBRIDE), WHO IS FORCED TO FLEE THE UK BECAUSE OF GAMBLING DEBTS. HE WINDS UP IN THE U.S., WORKING AS THE VALET TO THE 16TH PRESIDENT, AND BECOMES HIS KEY ADVISOR. THE CAST ALSO INCLUDED MAX BAKER AS NIBBLET, DESMOND'S INANLY FAITHFUL SERVANT, DANN FLOREK AS ABRAHAM LINCOLN, AND CHRISTINE ESTABROOK AS MARY TODD LINCOLN. THIS AUCTION INCLUDES SEVEN FULL-COLOR GLOSSY PROMOTIONAL PHOTOS AND A LETTER FROM UPN PROMOTING THE SERIES TO TV JOURNALISTS. NO MARKS OR TEARS. THIS IS TRULY A RARE AND UNIQUE AUCTION FOR A SERIES THAT JUST WAS TOO MUCH FOR AMERICAN TELEVISION.
