15 Classic Aaron Spelling Shows Throughout the Decades

13. The New People

Not everything Spelling touched turned to gold. 1969’s The New People was one of those failures. You’d think a series developed and initially written by Twillight Zone creator Rod Serling would have been a certain hit, but this one … wasn’t. The innovative series focused on a group of young college students who find themselves stranded without adults on an uninhabited island. Think of it as part Lord of the Flies, part Lost only set in the late ’60s. Unfortunately, studio influence and poor ratings doomed the show to a brief 17-episode run.
