Unsold pilot: In 1974 he co-wrote the teleplay for a pilot for NBC called "What Do You Feel Like Doing Tonight." It starred James Coco as a parent forced to live alone in New York City without his two children.
Sidney Aaron Chayefsky received his more familiar nickname of Paddy
while in the army during World War II. One Friday night, pork was being
served in the mess hall. Rather than eat food forbidden him as an
orthodox Jew, he said, in a put-on Irish brogue, that he was forbidden
from eating meat on a Friday. His fellow soldiers, amused by this,
started calling him Paddy, and the nickname stuck.
[on Network (1976)] Television is democracy at its ugliest - give the people what they want. My rage isn't against television; it's against the dehumanization of people. People say to me, 'Jesus, you moved into some pretty surreal stuff', and I say 'No, I still write realistic stuff. It's the world that's turned into a satire.'
